The eye's view
O me, what eyes hath Love put in my head, |
Which have no correspondence with true sight! |
Or, if they have, where is my judgment fled, |
That censures falsely what they see aright? |
If that be fair whereon my false eyes dote, |
What means the world to say it is not so? |
If it be not, then love doth well denote |
Love's eye is not so true as all men's 'No.' |
How can it? O, how can Love's eye be true, |
That is so vex'd with watching and with tears? |
No marvel then, though I mistake my view; |
The sun itself sees not till heaven clears. |
O cunning Love! with tears thou keep'st me blind, |
Lest eyes well-seeing thy foul faults should find. |
