15 And that’s the reason I love him so little. How shall I dote on her with more advice, That thus without advice begin to love her! ‘Tis but her picture I have yet beheld,
And that hath dazzled my reason’s light; 20 But when I look on her perfections,
There is no reason but I shall be blind. If I can cheque my erring love, I will; If not, to compass her I’ll use my skill.
