XI. FAIN WOULD I, BUT I DARE NOT.

Fain would I, but I dare not; I dare, and yet I may not;
I may, although I care not, for pleasure when I play not.
17

You laugh because you like not; I jest whenas I joy not;
You pierce, although you strike not; I strike and yet annoy not.
I spy, whenas I speak not; for oft I speak and speed not;
But of my wounds you reck not, because you see they bleed not:
Yet bleed they where you see not, but you the pain endure not:
Of noble mind they be not that ever kill and cure not.
I see, whenas I view not; I wish, although I crave not;
I serve, and yet I sue not; I hope for that I have not;
I catch, although I hold not; I burn, although I flame not;
I seem, whenas I would not; and when I seem, I am not.
Yours am I, though I seem not, and will be, though I show not;
Mine outward deeds then deem not, when mine intent you know not;
But if my serving prove not most sure, although I sue not,
Withdraw your mind and love not, nor of my ruin rue not.
