Look here, upon this picture, and on this,
The counterfeit presentment of two brothers.
See, what a grace was seated on this brow:
Hyperion's curls; the front of Jove himself;
An eye like Mars, to threaten and command;
A station like the herald Mercury
New-lighted on a heaven-kissing hill,-
A combination and a form indeed,
Where every god did seem to set his seal,
To give the world assurance of a man.

O shame! where is thy blush? Rebellious hell,

Act iv. Sc. 3.

Sure, he that made us with such large discourse,
Looking before and after, gave us not

That capability and godlike reason

To fust in us unused.

But greatly to find quarrel in a straw
When honour's at the stake.
