1 Thou blind fool, Love, what dost thou to mine eyes, 2 That they behold, and see not what they see? 3 They know what beauty is, see where it lies, 4 Yet what the best is take the worst to be. 5 If eyes, corrupt by over-partial looks, 6 Be anchor'd in the bay where all men ride, 7 Why of eyes' falsehood hast thou forged hooks, 8 Whereto the judgment of my heart is tied? 9 Why should my heart think that a several plot 10 Which my heart knows the wide world's common place? 11 Or mine eyes seeing this, say this is not, 12 To put fair truth upon so foul a face? 13 In things right true my heart and eyes have erred, 14 And to this false plague are they now transferred. |
