Mary Wroth
Take heed mine eyes, how you your looks do cast
Lest they betray my heart's most secret thought;
Be true unto your selves for nothing's bought
More dear than doubt which brings a lover's fast.
Catch you all watching eyes, ere they be past,
Or take yours fixed where your best love hath sought
The pride of your desires; let them be taught
Their faults with shame, they could no truer last.
Then look, and look with joy for conquest won
Of those that searched your hurt in double kind;
So you kept safe, let them themselves look blind
Watch, gaze, and mark till they to madness run,
While you, my eyes enjoy full sight of love
Contented that such happinesses move.
