rather deaf than blind,
For else it could not be
That she,
Whom I adore so much,
should so slight me
And cast my love behind.
I'm sure my language to her was as sweet,
And every close did meet
In sentence of as subtle feet,
As hath the youngest He
That sits in shadow of Apollo's tree.
O, but my conscious fears,
That fly my thoughts between,
Tell me that she hath seen
My hundred of gray hairs,
Told seven and forty years
Read so much waste,
as she cannot embrace
My mountain belly and my rocky face;
And all these through her eyes
have stopp'd her ears.
