MINE eye and heart
are at a mortal war |
|
How to divide the conquest of thy sight; |
|
Mine eye my heart thy pictures sight
would bar, |
|
My heart mine eye the freedom of that right. |
|
My heart doth plead that thou in him dost
lie, |
5 |
A closet never piercd with crystal
eyes, |
|
But the defendant doth that plea deny, |
|
And says in him thy fair appearance lies. |
|
To cide this title is impannelled |
|
A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart; |
10 |
And by their verdict is determined |
|
The clear eyes moiety and the dear
hearts part: |
|
As thus; mine eyes due
is thy outward part, |
|
And my hearts right thine
inward love of heart. |
