Which of her lovers ever found her true? [ Young ]

The wisest, brightest, meanest of mankind;
Or, ravished with the whistling of a name,
See Cromwell, damned to everlasting fame! [ Pope ]

For beauty is the bait which with delight doth man allure, for to enlarge his kind. [ Spenser ]

Nothing under heaven so strongly does allure the sense of man, and all his mind possess, as beauty's love bait. [ Spenser ]
