Abstract

The last perfection belonging to the body is beauty, whose consequents are more universal than those of strength, for what this cannot subdue by force, the other down win by surrender. Beauty, if it be not accompanied with other virtues, it may invite strangers to enter in, but as soon as they find the bad entertainment and the ill furniture of the place, they will quickly quit so ill an habitation.
