Full little knoweth he that hath not proved,

What hell it is to love, and not be loved.

XXIV.

Love! Art thou blind? Nay, thou canst see too well!

And they are blind that so report of thee!

That thou dost see, myself by proof can tell;

(A hapless proof thereof is made by me);

For sure I am, hadst thou not had thy sight,

Thou never couldst have hit my heart so right.
