comely quotes

All other parts remaining as they were, And they, so perfect in their misery, Not once perceive their foul disfigurement, But boast themselves more comely than before And all their friends, and native home forget To roll with pleasure in a sensual sty.

-John Milton
  Of Odysseus's men changed to beasts by Circe. Comus,  A Mask, l.72^7.

'Why weep ye by the tide, ladie? Why weep ye by the tide? I'll wed ye to my youngest son, And ye sall be his bride: And ye sall be his bride, ladie, Sae comely to be seen' But aye she loot the tears down fa' For Jock of Hazeldean.

- Sir Walter Scott
  'Jock of Hazeldean', stanza1.
