XLVI



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 pierc\'d with crystal eyes--

But the defendant doth that plea deny,

And says in him thy fair appearance lies.

To side this title is impannelled

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.

 	--William Shakespeare
