[In Jane, the Charms of Wit I prov'd]
In Jane, the Charms of Wit I prov'd;
For I no other Charm could find;
And, 'faith, believe I should have lov'd,
But that—I am not blind.
For I no other Charm could find;
And, 'faith, believe I should have lov'd,
But that—I am not blind.
The Heart Wit only cannot melt;
For, in my Mind, a Mistress should
Endure as well being seen, and felt,
As heard, and understood.
For, in my Mind, a Mistress should
Endure as well being seen, and felt,
As heard, and understood.
