When I with admiration view'd her face,

410I boldly durst give any tongue the lie

That dared to say, with such supernal grace,

There dwelt one atom of this tyranny.

But—if that virgin's hieroglyphics be

Of love and mildness, take them all for me.

I'll make a casement with this steely blade

In my full breast, through which my soul shall peep,

And make my heart in sanguine liquor wade,

And entrails all in juice of liver steep.
