[Den förkortade texten.]
And where we are, our Learning likes
wise is,
Then, when our selves we see in La»
dies eyes,
With our selves
Do we not likewise see our learning
there ?
From womens eyes this doctrine I de»
rive,
They are the Ground, the Bookes, the
Achadems
From whence doth spring the true
Promethean fire.
[Den ursprungliga texten.]
But Love first learned in a Ladies
eyes,
Lives not alone emured in the braine;
But, with the motion of all elamentes,
Courses as swift as thought in every
power
And gives to every power a double
power,
Above their functions and their offices.
It addes a precious seeing to the eye:
A Lovers eyes will gaze an Eagle blinde.
A Lovers eare will heare the lowest
sound:
When the suspitious head of theft is
stopt,
Loves feeling is more soft and sensible
Then are the tender homes of Cock»
led Snayles.
Loves tongue proves daintie, Bachus
grosse in taste.
For Valoure, is not Love a Hercules,
Still clyming trees in the Hesperides?
Subtle as Sphinx, as sweete and mu<
sicall
As bright Appolos Lute, strung with
his haire:
And when Love speakes, the voyce of
all the Goddes
Make heaven drowsie with the har»
monie.
Never durst Poet touch a pen to write,
Untill his Incke were tempred with
Loves sighes;
O then his lines would ravish savage
eares,
And plant in Tyrants milde humilitie.
From womans eyes this doctrine I de»
rive:
The sparcle still the right promethean
fier;
They are the Bookes, the Artes, the
Achademes,
That shew, containe, and nourish all
the worlde,
Els none at all in ought prove excel»
lent.
