Tis beauty truly blent, whose red and white
Nature's own sweet and cunning hand laid on.
_Twelfth Night, A. 1, S. 5._
Fresh tears
Stood on her cheeks, as doth the honey-dew
Upon a gather'd lily almost wither'd.
_Titus Andronicus, A. 3, S. 1._
Patience and sorrow strove
Who should express her goodliest. You have seen
Sunshine and rain at once; her smiles and tears
Were like a better day: those happy smilets,
That play'd on her ripe lip, seem'd not to know
What guests were in her eyes; which parted thence,
As pearls from diamonds dropp'd.
_King Lear, A. 4, S. 2._
She is mine own;
And I as rich in having such a jewel
As twenty seas, if all their sand were pearl,
The water nectar, and the rocks pure gold.

the body of it ever fair.
_Measure for Measure, A. 3, S. 1._
If ladies be but young and fair,
They have the gift to know it.
_As You Like It, A. 2, S. 7._
If she do frown, 'tis not in hate of you,
But rather to beget more love in you:
If she do chide, 'tis not to have you gone;
* * * * *
Take no repulse, whatever she doth say;
For "_Get you gone_," she doth not mean "_Away!_"
_Two Gentlemen of Verona, A. 3, S. 1._
