"Delight in Disorder"-oxymoron

"Delight in Disorder" by Robert Herrick was a very challenging poem!  I could also tell that it was a sonnet by the fourteen lines.  I really did not understand much about this poem.  However, I noticed a couple of things.  "I see a wild civility."  This is an oxymoron because these two words contradict each other.  This proved to me that maybe the poem was about a crazy situation.  Also, possibly the whole town was crazy.  I really am not sure about this poem; it just really confused me!
