The Anatomy of BEAUTY.

HAIR.

HER Hair is like the Beams that adorn Apollo's Head.

Love twists the Hair of her inchanting Locks, to make Strings for Cupi••'s Bow.

Locks so aptly trimm'd, that every Hair catches a Soul, insnaring all beholders.

Her Hair so is radient, that Love sits fetter'd in those golden snares.

The Amorous Cordage that binds all Hearts to her in Cupid's Bonds.

FACE.

In her Face all the Graces in her mind, all the Ver∣tues are met.

He that views her mild Aspect, were he the most savage of all Creatures, he would derive a new nature from her Beauty.

So full is she of Majesty, that Aurora blushes to see a Countenance brighter than her own.

Beautie's Elysium; Perfection's Magazine, where Roses with unsully'd Lillies mix.

A Face above the flattery of Rhetorick or Glass.

Her Looks have more entertainment than all the vain pomp which the Persians ever taught the World.

FOREHEAD.

The stately Fort from whence the winged Archer discharges his Artillery.

A clear Promontory, where sweet Violets grow.

A stately Prospect, shewing like a fair Castle com∣manding some goodly Country.

EYES.

Her Eyes dart lightning through the Air.

The Stars borrow new Luster from her more radi∣••nt Eyes.

They are able to grace the Heavens, and beautifie the Sky in the clearest Night.

They are Nature's richest Diamonds set in foils of ••olish'd Ivory.

SMILES.

Her Smiles are so gracefull, and full of comfort, ••hat with them she is able to revive a dying Lover.

EARS.

Her Ears are watchfull Sentinels, that let no words ••f weight pass unregarded.

CHEEKS.

Her Cheeks shew like Lillies spread upon Roses.

Nature painted the Colour thereof in the most glo∣••••ous Tulips. They are Slips of Paradise, not to be ••ather'd, but wonder'd at.

NOSE.

Her Nose is strait, and of a stately frame.

The comely Ornament of a most exquisite Face.

LIPS.

Her Lips are like the full-ripe Cherry.

Cupid drinks Nectar from her Rosie Portals.

They are Sister Corals, that kiss each other.

Lands where Rocks of Rubies grow.

Love's Rubie Altars still they show.

TEETH.

Her Teeth are ranks of Orient Pearl.

The double pearlie guard of Speech.

TONGƲE.

Her Tongue is tipt with such a fire, and so power∣full, as might tame the most rebellious spirit.

A Tongue able to captivate the Hearers, and re∣concile Antipathy it self.

BREATH.

Her Breath is airy Amber.

A Breath that perfumes the Air with Elysian Sweets.

Voice.

Her Voice is so charming, that it has power to doe more than ever Orpheus did.

Should Magitians use it, it would tie up the Nocturnal Ghosts, without the addition of Exor∣cisme.

Her Words invade the weakn'd senses, and over∣come the heart.

BROW.

Her Brow is Cupid's Bow, most sweetly bent to shoot his Darts against every heart.

CHIN.

Her Chin shews like a piece of pure and polish'd Chrystal, which the God of Love delights to uphold with his soft hand.

NECK.

Her Neck is of such a whiteness, as exceeds unsullied Snow.

A silver Pillar of rare Whiteness.

Far whiter than the Swans that swim upon Mean∣der's Chrystal streams.

SHOƲLDERS.

Her Shoulders are the rare composure where Neck and Breast their native closure take.

ARMS.

Her Arms were made to take the great Men of the World her Pris'ners.

HANDS.

Her Hands soft and smooth, of which the Violet veins run along like Mines of Turquoises.

Her slender Hand subdues without a stroak.

The Swans Down is harsh in respect of her soft Hand.

BREASTS.

Her Breasts are two Mountains of pure Snow, from the Fountains of which Cupid sucks Nectar.

Her Breasts are Love's delicious Paradise, the Lilly Mountains, where dwells Eternal Spring.

Her Breasts those Twins of Miracle.

WAST.

Her Waft as strait as Cupi••'s Shaft, or Mercury's Wand.

NAVEL.

Her Navel is Love's Hesperides.

The Seal of Love's Impression.

WOMB.

Her Womb is Nature's secret Cabinet, and Gar∣den of delight.

Briefly she comprehends whatever can be wish'd for, in the Idea of a Woman.

She is so heavenly a piece, that when Nature had wrought her, she lost her Needle, like one that ne∣ver hop'd to work again any so fair and lovely a Creature as my Mistriss.
