- 1 So shall I live, supposing thou art true,
- 2 Like a deceived husband, so love’s face,
- 3 May still seem love to me, though altered new:
- 4 Thy looks with me, thy heart in other place.
- 5 For there can live no hatred in thine eye,
- 6 Therefore in that I cannot know thy change,
- 7 In many’s looks, the false heart’s history
- 8 Is writ in moods and frowns and wrinkles strange.
- 9 But heaven in thy creation did decree,
- 10 That in thy face sweet love should ever dwell,
- 11 Whate’er thy thoughts, or thy heart’s workings be,
- 12 Thy looks should nothing thence, but sweetness tell.
- 13 How like Eve’s apple doth thy beauty grow,
- 14 If thy sweet virtue answer not thy show.
