Hath calumny imputed to the fair

A blemish, mole on cheek or wart on chin,

Much more, blind hidden horrors best unnamed?

Shall I descend to prove you, point by point,

Never was knock-knee known nor splay-foot found

In Phryne? (I must let the portrait go,

Content me with the model, I believe)—

—I prove this? An indignant sweep of hand,

Dash at and doing away with drapery,

And,—use your eyes, Athenians, smooth she smiles!
