Portrait: Quotations from Shakespearian Quotations

See, what a grace was seated on this brow: Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself; An eye like Mars to threaten and command; A station, like the herald Mercury, New lighted on a heaven-kissing hill A combination, and a form, indeed, Where every god did seem to set his seal, To give the world assurance of a man.— Hiii. 4

O thou senseless form, Thou shalt be worsnipp'd, kiss'd, lov'd, and ador'd....— T. G. iv. 4

Shakespearian Dictionary. POV What demi-god Hath come so near creation? Move these eyes? Or whether, riding on the balls of mine, Seem they in motion? Here are sever'd lips, Parted with sugar breath; so sweet a bar Should sunder such sweet friends: Here in her hairs The painter plays the spider; and hath woven A golden mesh to entrap the hearts of men, Faster than gnats in cobwebs: But her eyes, - How could he see to do them?— M. V. iii. 2.

The counterfeit presentment.
