- 1 Thine eyes I love, and they as pitying me,
- 2 Knowing thy heart torment me with disdain,
- 3 Have put on black, and loving mourners be,
- 4 Looking with pretty ruth upon my pain.
- 5 And truly not the morning sun of heaven
- 6 Better becomes the grey cheeks of the east,
- 7 Nor that full star that ushers in the even
- 8 Doth half that glory to the sober west
- 9 As those two mourning eyes become thy face:
- 10 O let it then as well beseem thy heart
- 11 To mourn for me since mourning doth thee grace,
- 12 And suit thy pity like in every part.
- 13 Then will I swear beauty herself is black,
- 14 And all they foul that thy complexion lack.
