Adorn

She came adorned hither like sweet May.

Shakespeare.

Th’ adorning thee with so much art
Is but a barbarous skill;
’Tis like the poisoning of a dart,
Too apt before to kill.

Cowley.

A poet, naturalist and historian, who scarcely left any style of writing untouched and touched nothing that he did not adorn.

Dr. Johnson.
