Ταῦτα ἅμα λέγων ἐνέβλεπον τῇ κόρῃ πῶς ἔχει πρὸς τὴν ἀκρόασιν τὴν ἐρωτικήν: ἡ δὲ ὑπεσήμαινεν οὐκ ἀηδῶς ἀκούειν. Τὸ δὲ κάλλος ἀστράπτον τοῦ ταῶ ἧττον ἐδόκει μοι τοῦ τῆς Λευκίππης εἶναι προσώπου. Τὸ γὰρ τοῦ σώματος κάλλος αὐτῆς πρὸς τὰ τοῦ λειμῶνος ἤριζεν ἄνθη: ναρκίσσου μὲν τὸ πρόσωπον ἔστιλβε χρόαν, ῥόδον δὲ ἀνέτελλεν ἐκ τῆς παρειᾶς, ἴον δὲ ἡ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν ἐμάρμαιρεν αὐγή, αἱ δὲ κόμαι βοστρυχούμεναι μᾶλλον εἱλίττοντο κιττοῦ.
