Look on beauty, And you shall see 'tis purchased by the weight; Which therein works a miracle in nature, Making them lightest that wear most of it: So are those crisped snaky golden locksWhich make such wanton gambols with the wind, Upon supposed fairness, often knownTo be the dowry of a second head, The skull that bred them in the sepulchre. Thus ornament is but the guiled shoreTo a most dangerous sea; the beauteous scarfVeiling an Indian beauty; in a word, The seeming truth which cunning times put onTo entrap the wisest.
