Would through the airy region stream so bright The brightness of her cheek would shame those stars,Īs daylight doth a lamp her eyes in heaven What if her eyes were there, they in her head? To twinkle in their spheres till they return. ![]() Having some business, do entreat her eyes Two of the fairest stars in all the heaven, I am too bold, ’tis not to me she speaks: She speaks yet she says nothing: what of that? That thou her maid art far more fair than she:Īnd none but fools do wear it cast it off.
