Very well, then! Ne'er have I felt such silky locks as yours! Even the finest brush crafted of the rarest metals and softest bristles would be humbled to touch! Your skin bears a dewy freshness that not even morning glories on the vine after a spring rain could ever hope to attain! Not to mention your remarkable wardrobe selection, every piece of which perfectly accentuates all of your wonderful features as though you were a gift of marble hand-chisled by the very gods themselves, and so blessed are those who have the chance to behold! For your charming nature, would even the most gilded-tongued of poets know where to begin? Your zest and passion for life; truly, it is a thing of utmost inspiration! Nothing shy of the crown jewel on your remarkable existence!
