Yes; Fulvia is like Venus fair, <br />Has all her bloom, and shape, and air; <br />But still, to perfect every grace, <br />She wants-the smile upon her face. <br /> <br />The crown majestic Juno wore; <br />And Cynthia's brow the crescent bore; <br />An helmet mark'd Minerva's mien; <br />But smiles distinguish'd Beauty's queen. <br /> <br />Her train was form'd of Smiles and Loves; <br />Her chariot drawn by gentlest doves; <br />And from her zone, the nymph may find <br />'Tis Beauty's province to be kind. <br /> <br />Then smile, my Fair! and all, whose aim <br />Aspires to paint the Cyprian dame, <br />Or bid her breathe in living stone, <br />Shall take their forms from you alone.<br /><br />William Shenstone<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-attribute-of-venus/
