O what shall I do or whither shall I turn me?
Shall I make unto her eyes? O no they'll burn me!
Shall I seal up my eyes and speak my part?
Then in a flood of tears I drown my heart,
for tears being stopped will swell for scope,
though they o'erflow love, life and hope.
By beauty's eye
I'll choose to die.

At thy feet I fall, fair creature rich in beauty,
and for pity call O kill not love and duty.
Let thy smooth tongue fan on my sense thy breath
to stay thine eyes from burning me to death.
But if mercy be exiléd 
from a thing so fair compiléd,
then patiently
by thee I'll die.
