Pretty twinkling starry eyes! <br />How did Nature first devise <br />Such a sparkling in your sight <br />As to give Love such delight <br />As to make him, like a fly, <br />Play with looks until he die? <br /> <br />Sure you were not made at first <br />For such mischief to be cursed, <br />As to kill affection's care <br />That doth only truth declare. <br />Where worth's wonders never wither <br />Love and Beauty live together. <br /> <br />Blessed eyes! then give your blessing <br />That, in passion's best expressing, <br />Love, that only lives to grace ye, <br />May not suffer to deface ye; <br />But in gentle thoughts directions, <br />Show the praise of your perfections.<br /><br />Nicholas Breton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pretty-twinkling-starry-eyes/
