1635 William Shakespeare 1564-1616 John Bartlett

 
NUMBER:1635
AUTHOR:William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
QUOTATION: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.
