Wist not that I love thee~0~
Less than these:~1~
Cheap trinkets and pennies~2~
Which moths and dust do destroy.~3~
No expense have I suffered~4~
Or ere proffered~5~
I would not have offered~6~
For to glimpse thee, my joy.~7~

Would I not trade my sight,~8~
Black as night,~9~
Blot out the sun so bright,~10~
And curse to fall the fair moon?~11~
'Tis pale and wan, as am I~12~
As if I've died~13~
I might as as well be blind~14~
For naught is worth sight but you.~15~
