Did heaven lack a goddess you might limn

A fairer than a Venus for the place.

Speak on. Tell me her sum to the last doit.

The balance of a hair—a smile unborn—

I'd not strike off.

Aris. [Coldly] You know her worth, my lord.

Dion. Nay, the appraising eye when fixed too near

The thing it loves distorts the sweet proportion.

You can adjust your gaze, take stand to bring

Her beauty to perfection's single-point.
