- Since I left you, mine eye is in my mind;
- And that which governs me to go about
- Doth part his function and is partly blind,
- Seems seeing, but effectually is out;
- For it no form delivers to the heart
- Of bird, of flower, or shape which it doth latch:
- Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,
- Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch;
- For if it see the rud’st or gentlest sight,
- The most sweet favour or deformed’st creature,
- The mountain or the sea, the day or night:
- The crow, or dove, it shapes them to your feature.
- Incapable of more, replete with you,
- My most true mind thus maketh mine untrue.
