Beauty
Illustration★★Attraction of, “Fair anc wise,” as it was said of Aspasia Milesia Here beauty was not ill-bestowed, as a gold ring in a swine’s snout, but (as the history re ports of the Lady Jane Grey), adorned with all variety of moral virtues, as a clear aly with stars, ag a ae diadem with jewels. Beauty is of itself very attractive, as the poet hath it. For which cause Heraclonas, the young emperor of Constantinople, being sent into banishment, together with Martina, his mother, had his nose cut off, lest his beauty should move the people to pity.
— Trapp
