Context

“Oft he rejects, but never once offends. Bright as the Sun, her Eyes the Gazers trike, And, like the Sun, they hine on all alike. Yet graceful Eae, and Sweetnes void of Pride, Might hide her Faults, if Belles had faults to hide: If to her hare some Female Errors fall, Look on her Face, and you'll forget 'em all. This Nymph, to the Detruction of Mankind, Nourih'd two Locks, which graceful hung behind In equal Curls, and well conpir'd to deck With hining Ringlets her mooth Iv'ry Neck. Love in thee Labyrinths his Slaves detains,” source
