Beauteous as ink. [ William Shakespeare, Love's Labour's Lost, Act V. Sc. 2 ]

Sweet is the lore which Nature brings;
Our meddling intellect
Misshapes the beauteous form of things:
We murder to dissect. [ Wordsworth ]

Ornament is but the gilded shore
To a most dangerous sea; the beauteous scarf
Veiling an Indian; beauty, in a word.
The seeming truth which cunning times put on
To entrap the wisest. [ William Shakespeare ]

Dear beauteous death, the jewel of the just. [ Henry Vaughan ]

Prostrate the beauteous ruin lies; and all
That shared its shelter, perish in its fall. [ Wm. Pitt ]

What's a fine person, or a beauteous face,
Unless deportment gives them decent grace?
Blessed with all other requisites to please.
Some want the striking elegance of ease;
The curious eye their awkward movement tires:
They seem like puppets led about by wires. [ Churchill ]

Kindness in women, not their beauteous looks,
Shall win my love. [ William Shakespeare ]

O, how much more doth Beauty beauteous seem.
By that sweet ornament which truth doth give!
The rose looks fair, but fairer we it deem,
For that sweet odor which doth in it live. [ William Shakespeare ]

Sweet, good night!
This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath,
May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet. [ William Shakespeare ]

Gems which adorn the beauteous tresses of the weeping morn. [ Poole ]

Rarely do we meet in one combined, a beauteous body and a virtuous mind. [ Juvenal ]

O, how much more doth beauty beauteous seem, by that sweet ornament which truth doth give! [ Shakespeare ]

Flowers never emit so sweet and strong a fragrance as before a storm. Beauteous soul! when a storm approaches thee, be as fragrant as a sweet-smelling flower. [ Richter ]

To gild refined gold, to paint the lily, to throw a perfume on the violet, to smooth the ice, or add another hue unto the rainbow, or with taper-light to seek the beauteous eye of heaven to garnish, is wasteful and ridiculous excess. [ William Shakespeare ]
