His Mistris Eyes serve Cupid both for Darts and Fire.
Oft have I mus'd the cause to finde,
Why Love in Ladies eyes doth dwell,
I thought, because himselfe was blind,
Hee lookt that they should guide him well:
And since his hope but seldome failes,
For Love by Ladies eyes prevailes.

But time at last hath taught me wit,
Although I bought my wit full deare,
For by her eyes my heart is hit,
Deepe is the wound, though none appeare,
Their glancing beames as Darts he throwes,
And sure hee hath no shafts but those.
Although I bought my wit full deare,
For by her eyes my heart is hit,
Deepe is the wound, though none appeare,
Their glancing beames as Darts he throwes,
And sure hee hath no shafts but those.
I mus'd to see their eyes so bright,
And little thought they had been fire,
I gaz'd upon them with delight,
But that delight hath bred desire:
What better place can Love require,
Then that where grow both shafts and fire?
And little thought they had been fire,
I gaz'd upon them with delight,
But that delight hath bred desire:

Then that where grow both shafts and fire?
