Rhyme Scheme: ABCBDDEFGHGHHHMine eye and heart are at a mortal war | A |
How to divide the conquest of thy sight | B |

My heart mine eye the freedom of that right | B |
My heart doth plead that thou in him dost lie mdash | D |
A closet never pierced with crystal eyes mdash | D |
But the defendant doth that plea deny | E |

As thus mine eye's due is thy outward part | H |
And my heart's right thy inward love of heart | H |
