| | | HAND, hart and eie, tucht thought and did behold, | |
| The onelie glorie that on earth doth grow: | |
| Hand quakt, hart sighd, but eie was foolish bold, | |
| To gaze til gazing wrought harts grounded woe | |
| The obiect of these senses heauenlie saint, | 5 |
| With such a maiestie did me appall: | |
| As hand to write her praise did feare and faint, | |
| And heart did bleede to thinke me Beauties thrall. | |
| But eie more hardie than the hand or hart, | |
| Did glorie in her eies reflecting light: | 10 |
| And yet that light did breede my endles smart. | |
| And yet mine eies nill leaue there former sight. | |
| But gazing pine, which eie, hand, hart doth trie, | |
| And what I loue, is but hand, hart, and eie. | | | | |
