BETWIXT mine eye and heart a league is took | |
And each doth good turns now unto the other: | |
When that mine eye is famish’d for a look, | |
Or heart in love with sighs himself doth smother, | |
With my love’s picture then my eye doth feast, | 5 |
And to the painted banquet bids my heart; | |
Another time mine eye is my heart’s guest, | |
And in his thoughts of love doth share a part: | |
So, either by thy picture or my love, | |
Thyself away art present still with me; | 10 |
For thou not further than my thoughts canst move, | |
And I am still with them and they with thee; | |
Or, if they sleep, thy picture in my sight | |
Awakes my heart to heart’s and eye’s delight. |
W. Shakespeare
