Or that by them a copy might be ta'en,

By you alone what thoughts I have within.

But since the hand of Nature did not set

(As providently loath to have it known)

The means to find that hidden alphabet.

Mine eyes shall be th' interpreters alone:

By them conceive my thoughts, and tell me, fair,

If now you see her that doth love me there.


Were't not for you, here should my pen have rest
