What is the gaudyfurniture of dress To the fine unclear of modesty and grace? What is the blooming tincture of the skin To peace of mind and harmony within? What the bright sparkling of the finest eye, To the soft soothing's of a calm reply? Can comeliness of form, of shape, or air, With comeliness of words and deeds compare? No - those at first the unwary heart may gain; But these these only can that heart reatain. _____________________________________________ Loveliness needs not the foriegn aid of ornament, But is, when undorn'd, adorn'd the most. _____________________________________________ Beauty is a fading Flower

+With comeliness of words and deeds compare?
-An humble but accepted sacrifice
