Mine eye
and heart are at a mortal war,
How to
divide the conquest of thy sight,
Mine eye,
my heart thy picture's sight would bar,
My heart,
mine eye the freedom of that right,
My heart
doth plead that thou in him dost lie,
(A closet
never pierced with crystal eyes)
But the
defendant doth that plea deny,
And says
in him thy fair appearance lies.
To side
this title is impanelled
A quest of
thoughts, all tenants to the heart,
And by
their verdict is determined
The clear
eye's moiety, and the dear heart's part.
As thus,
mine eye's due is thy outward part,
And my
heart's right, thy inward love of heart.
