Doth not each look a flash of lightning feel

60Which spares the body's sheath, and melts the steel?

Thy soul must needs confess, or grant thy sense

Corrupted with the object's excellence.

Sweet magic, which can make five senses lie

Conjured within the circle of an eye!

In whom, since all the five are intermixed,

Oh now that Scaliger would prove his sixt!

Thou man of mouth, that canst not name a she

Unless all Nature pay a subsidy,
