True Beauty.

Let blind Admirers, handsom Faces praise,
And graceful Features to great Honour raise;
The Glories of the red and white express;
I know no beauty but in Holiness:
If God of beauty be the uncreate
Perfect Idea, in this lower State
The greatest beauties of an human mold,
Who most resemble Him, we justly hold;
Whom we resemble, not in flesh and blood,
But being pure and holy, just and good.
May such a Beauty fall but to my share,
For curious Shape, or Face, I ne're shall care.
