Explanations:
If to her share some female errors fallLook on her face, and you'll forget them all.
Answer: These lines are taken from the Second Canto of “the Rape of the Lock” which is a mock-epic or mock-heroic. The poem has been composed by Alexander Pope who is one of the prominent satirists in eighteenth-century English literature. In these lines, the poet ironically suggests that a beautiful lady can have no faults. Even if the lady has some, they are forgotten as soon as one looks at her face.
The poet satirically says that beautiful and fashionable ladies cannot be accused of having any faults. But supposing that they do suffer from faults, they would naturally like to hide them. If Belinda had any faults, they were hidden by her graceful and easy manner and by her sweetness which was absolutely untouched by pride. If there were any feminine follies or defects in Belinda, people would completely ignore them because of the beauty and charm of her face. In other words, her beauty, charm, and grace were ample screen for her faults. Thinking of her beauty, one would forget her faults.
Pope's picture of Belinda is enlivened by his delicate satire. The poet takes to hyperbolical language to describe Belinda's charm and conduct.
