|
|
| Betwixt mine eye and heart a league is took, | 1 |
|
|
| And each doth good turns now unto the other: |
|
|
| When that mine eye is famish'd for a look, |
|
|
| Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother, |
|
|
| With my love's picture then my eye doth feast, | 5 |
|
|
| And to the painted banquet bids my heart; |
|
|
| Another time mine eye is my heart's guest, |
|
|
| And in his thoughts of love doth share a part: |
|
|
| So, either by thy picture or my love, |
|
|
| Thy self away, art present still with me; | 10 |
|
|
| For thou not farther than my thoughts canst move, |
|
|
| And I am still with them, and they with thee; |
|
|
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight |
|
|
Awakes my heart, to heart's and eye's delight. |
