When this crystal shall present 
   Your beauty to your eye, 
Think that lovely face was meant 
   To dress another by. 
For not to make them proud, 
These glasses are allowed 
   To those are fair, 
   But to compare 
The inward beauty with the outward grace, 
And make them fair in soul as well as face.
