Gerrymandering definition:


Gerrymandering is the practice of setting boundaries of electoral districts to favor specific political interests within legislative bodies, often resulting in districts with convoluted, winding boundaries rather than compact areas. Gerrymandering in the United States has been used as early as 1788 to increase the power of a political party; the term "gerrymandering" was coined on review of Massachusetts's redistricting maps of 1812 set by Governor Elbridge Gerry, so named for its resemblance to a salamander.

It depends on how you interpret it. While reading it, I interpret it as he means to say that love is as innocent as  a person can make it. When he states she walks in beauty, he is most likely referring to the idea that she is beautiful and has a innocent lifestyle. My apologies if this is not the answer you are looking for.
