Full of glee

Hello,

Could you help me to understand the meaning of "not more lovely than full of glee" in this sentence:

"She was a maiden of rarest beauty, and not more lovely than full of glee." A sentence from "The Oval Portrait" by Edgar Allan Poe.


Thank you,

I take it to mean that she was very, very beautiful but that the degree of her beauty was matched by the degree of her joy and happiness. Clive
