This question is based on SHE WALKS IN BEAUTY.

The expression "one shade the more, one ray the less" underscores

The woman's dual nature
Her exaggerated features
The speaker's confusion
The precision and delicacy of her beauty

Explanation

Byron emphasises that her beauty is so perfectly balanced that even the slightest alteration (one more shade of darkness or one more ray of light) would diminish its perfection.
