Virtue is like a rich stone, best plain set; and surely virtue is best, in
a body that is comely, though not of delicate features; and that hath rather
dignity of presence, than beauty of aspect. Neither is it almost seen, that very
beautiful persons are otherwise of great virtue; as if nature were rather busy,
not to err, than in labor to produce excellency. And therefore they prove
accomplished, but not of great spirit; and study rather behavior, than virtue.
But this holds not always: for Augustus Caesar, Titus Vespasianus, Philip le
Belle of France, Edward the Fourth of England, Alcibiades of Athens, Ismael the
Sophy of Persia, were all high and great spirits; and yet the most beautiful men
of their times. In beauty, that of favor, is more than that of color; and that
of decent and gracious(亲切的，高尚的) motion, more than that of favor. That is the
best part of beauty, which a picture cannot express; no, nor the first sight of
the life. There is no excellent beauty, that hath not some strangeness in the
proportion. A man cannot tell whether Apelles, or Albert Durer, were the more
trifler; whereof(关于什么) the one, would make a personage by geometrical
proportions; the other, by taking the best parts out of divers faces, to make
one excellent. Such personages, I think, would please nobody, but the painter
that made them. Not but I think a painter may make a better face than ever was;
but he must do it by a kind of felicity(幸福，快乐) (as a musician that maketh an
excellent air in music), and not by rule. A man shall see faces, that if you
examine them part by part, you shall find never a good; and yet altogether do
well. If it be true that the principal part of beauty is in decent motion,
certainly it is no marvel, though persons in years seem many times more
amiable(亲切的); pulchrorum autumnus pulcher; for no youth can be comely but by
pardon, and considering the youth, as to make up the comeliness. Beauty is as
summer fruits,) which are easy to corrupt, and cannot last; and for the most
part it makes a dissolute youth, and an age a little out of countenance; but yet
certainly again, if it light well, it maketh virtue shine,and vices blush.
