the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm

The second line: "If you searched all the East, you'd find no girl with greater charm than Thisbe;"

Why: it explicitly describes a character trait of Thisbe (her exceptional charm) — a direct example of characterization. The other lines describe setting or a wall, not a character’s qualities.
