Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDEDEFGFGGG| Mine eye and heart are at a mortal war | A |
| How to divide the conquest of thy sight | B |
| Mine eye my heart thy picture's sight would bar | C |
| My heart mine eye the freedom of that right | B |
| My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie | D |
| A closet never pierced with crystal eyes | E |
| But the defendant doth that plea deny | D |
| And says in him thy fair appearance lies | E |
| To 'cide this title is impanell egrave d | F |
| A quest of thoughts all tenants to the heart | G |
| And by their verdict is determin egrave d | F |
| The clear eye's moiety and the dear heart's part | G |
| As thus mine eye's due is thy outward part | G |
| And my heart's right thy inward love of heart | G |
