- 1 Since I left you, mine eye is in my mind,
- 2 And that which governs me to go about,
- 3 Doth part his function, and is partly blind,
- 4 Seems seeing, but effectually is out:
- 5 For it no form delivers to the heart
- 6 Of bird, of flower, or shape which it doth latch,
- 7 Of his quick objects hath the mind no part,
- 8 Nor his own vision holds what it doth catch:
- 9 For if it see the rud’st or gentlest sight,
- 10 The most sweet favour or deformed’st creature,
- 11 The mountain, or the sea, the day, or night:
- 12 The crow, or dove, it shapes them to your feature.
- 13 Incapable of more, replete with you,
- 14 My most true mind thus maketh mine untrue.
