Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly; <br />Their beauty shakes me who was once serene; <br />Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen. <br /> <br />Only your word will heal the injury <br />To my hurt heart, while yet the wound is clean - <br />Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly; <br />Their beauty shakes me who was once serene. <br /> <br />Upon my word, I tell you faithfully <br />Through life and after death you are my queen; <br />For with my death the whole truth shall be seen. <br />Your two great eyes will slay me suddenly; <br />Their beauty shakes me who was once serene; <br />Straight through my heart the wound is quick and keen.<br /><br />Geoffrey Chaucer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/rondel-of-merciless-beauty/
