Having the specified kind or number of eyes.

What mean you, sir, / To give them this discomfort? Look, they weep; / And I, an ass, am onion-eyed: for shame, / Transform us not to women.

Unseen descending weigh my light wings upon balmy flowers, / And court the fair eyed dew to take me to her shining tent.
