Say thou to skin "Be soft," to face "Be fair," * And gaze, nor

shall they blame howso thou stare: Fine nose in Beauty's list is

high esteemed; * Nor less an eye full, bright and debonnair: Eke

did they well to laud the lovely lips * (Which e'en the sleep of

me will never spare); A winning tongue, a stature tall and

straight; [FN#490] * A seemly union of gifts rarest rare: But

Beauty's acme in the hair one views it; * So hear my strain and

with some few excuse it!"
