For her gait, if she be walking;  Be she sitting, I desire her  For her state's sake; and admire her  For her wit if she be talking;  
Gait and state and wit approve her;  For which all and each I love her.  
  
Be she sullen, I commend her  For a modest. Be she merry,  For a kind one her prefer I.  Briefly, everything doth lend her   
So much grace, and so approve her,  That for everything I love her. — William Browne of Tavistock
1588-1643
