Loveliness

Needs not the foreign aid of ornament,

But is when unadorn'd, adorn'd the most.

James Thomson (1700-1748): The Seasons. Autumn. Line 204.

By foreign hands thy dying eyes were clos'd,

By foreign hands thy decent limbs compos'd,

By foreign hands thy humble grave adorn'd,

By strangers honoured, and by strangers mourn'd!

Alexander Pope (1688-1744): To the Memory of an Unfortunate Lady. Line 51.
