[Since so mine eyes are subject to your sight]

[Dorus.]
Since so mine eyes are subject to your sight,
That in your sight they fixed have my braine;
Since so my harte is filled with that light,
That onely light doth all my life maintaine;
Since in sweete you all goods so richly raigne,
That where you are no wished good can want;
Since so your living image lives in me,
That in my selfe your selfe true love doth plant;
How can you him unworthy then decree,
In whose chiefe parte your worthes implanted be?
