Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war <br />How to divide the conquest of thy sight; <br />Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar, <br />My heart mine eye the freedom of that right. <br />My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie- <br />A closet never pierced with crystal eyes- <br />But the defendant doth that plea deny <br />And says in him thy fair appearance lies. <br />To 'cide this title is impanneled <br />A quest of thoughts, all tenants to the heart, <br />And by their verdict is determined <br />The clear eye's moiety and the dear heart's part: <br />As thus; mine eye's due is thy outward part, <br />And my heart's right thy inward love of heart.<br /><br />Happy Hippie Girl<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-46-by-william-shakespeare/
