Will: Thomas, if I could write the beauty of her eyes, I was born to look into them and know myself.

Thomas Kent: and...and her lips?

Will: Her lips? The early morning rose would wither on the branch if it could feel envy.

Thomas Kent: And her voice...like lark's song?

Will: Deeper, softer, none of your twittering larks. I would banish the nightingales from the garden before they interrupt her songs...And her bosom. Did I mention her bosom?

Thomas Kent: (offended) What of her bosom?

Will: oh Thomas, a pair of pippins as round and rare as golden apples

In man's eyes, what a beauty a woman could possess.
