With virtue? which of nature's regions vast

Can in so many forms produce to sight

Such powerful beauty?—Beauty, which the eye

Of hatred cannot look upon secure;

Which Envy's self contemplates, and is turn'd

Ere long to tenderness, to infant smiles,

Or tears of humblest love. Is ought so fair,

In all the dewy landscapes of the Spring,

The Summer's noontide groves, the purple eve

At harvest-home, or in the frosty moon
