And held it for a very silly sleight,

To make a perfect metal counterfeit,

Glad to disclaim herself, proud of an art

That makes the face a pandar to the heart.

Those be the painted moons, whose lights profane

Beauty's true Heaven, at full still in their wane;260

Those be the lapwing-faces that still cry,

"Here 'tis!" when that they vow is nothing nigh:

Base fools! when every moorish fool[61] can teach

That which men think the height of human reach.
