¶Liedtext

Mine eye hath play'd the Painter and hath stell'd, Thy beauties form in table of my heart, My body is the frame wherein 'tis held, And perspective, it is best Painter's art. For through the Painter must you see his skill, To find where your true Image pictur'd lies, Which in my bosom's shop is hanging still, That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes: Now see what good-turns eyes for eyes have done: Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me Are windows to my breast, wherethrough the sun Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art They draw but what they see, know not the heart. ''William Shakespeare (Sonnet XXIV)''
