All this is true. Look high or low, 'tis true, why are the stars Fixed in their Orbs, but to adorn the heavens? And we adore their beauty more than light. Look on the Arts, how they tend all to beauty, 'Tis their only end: he that builds a house, Strives not so much for use, as ornament, Nor does your Orator compose a speech With lesser care, to have it elegant, Then moving; and your Limner does observe The trim, and dress, more than the rules of painting. All truth, and Oracles. Look on a fair ship, And you will say, 'tis very beautiful. A General rejoices in the title Of a fair Army. I'll come nearer to you; Who were thought worthy to be deified, But such as were found beautiful? for this cause, Iove took up Ganymede from Ida hill, To fill him wine, and go a hunting with him.
