Benedict speaks in riddles saying Hero is to short to be praised highly,  too dark to be praised fairly, and too small to be praised greatly. He says she isn't ugly but he doesn't like her. 

Why, i' faith, methinks she’s too low for a high praise, too
brown for a fair praise, and too little for a great praise. Only
this commendation I can afford her, that were she other
than she is, she were unhandsome, and being no other but
as she is, I do not like her.
