DORIS.

I grant an honour to be NEPTUNE's child;

A grace to be so near with JOVE allied:

But yet, sweet Nymph! with this be not beguiled;

Where Nature's graces are by looks descried.

So foul, so rough, so ugly-like a Clown;

And worse than this, a Monster with one eye.

Foul is not gracèd, though it wear a Crown!

But fair is Beauty. None can that deny.
