Hiding the grossness with fair ornament?

Thus, ornament is but the guilèd shore

To a most dangerous sea, the beauteous scarf

Veiling[908] an Indian beauty;

Therefore, thou gaudy gold,

Hard food for Midas, I will none[909] of thee;

Nor none[910] of thee, thou pale and common drudge

’Tween man and man: but thou,[911] thou meagre lead,

Which rather threat’nest than dost promise aught,

Thy plainness moves me more than eloquence;
