EYES.

His grandam's wrongs, and not his mother's shames,

To do him justice.

Fall to the base earth from the firmament !

There's not the smallest orb which thou behold'st,
But in his motion like an angel sings,

Still quiring to the young-ey'd cherubims:
Such harmony is in immortal souls.

MERCHANT OF VENICE, v. 1.
