| Whilst yet mine Eyes do surfeit with delight | B |
| My woeful Heart imprison'd in my breast | C |
| Wisheth to be transformed to my sight | B |
| That it like these by looking might be blest | C |
| But whilst my Eyes thus greedily do gaze | D |
| Finding their objects over soon depart | E |
| These now the other's happiness do praise | D |
| Wishing themselves that they had been my Heart | E |
| That Eyes were Heart or that the Heart were Eyes | F |
| As covetous the other's use to have | G |
| But finding Nature their request denies | F |
| This to each other mutually they crave | H |
| That since the one cannot the other be | I |
| That Eyes could think or that my Heart could see | I |
