| 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,
 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,
 Thy self away, art present still with me;
 For thou not farther 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.
