Of waters still'd at even;

“The appearance of [Virtue] was far different: her hair, seeking no borrowed charm from ordered locks, grew freely above her forehead; her eyes were steady; in face and gait she was more like a man; she showed a cheerful modesty; and her tall stature was set off by the snow-white robe she wore.”

composita mutata coma, stans vultus, et ore
incessuque viro propior laetique pudoris
celsa umeros niveae fulgebat stamine pallae.
