In the following paragraph, underline the instances of allusion. 

“He never saw a girl as pretty as she: her Mona Lisa smile, her Botticelli curls. But he was as tongue-tied with her as Cordelia was with Lear. He tried to think of something pithy to say – perhaps a compliment on how her face could launch a thousand ships?”

An allusion is defined as an indirect reference derived from any type of media source such as movies, books, songs, poems, plays, speeches, etc.
