DianaThe Second Decade. Sonnet V. My Reason absent, did mine Eyes require
Henry Constable (1562–1613)M
To watch and ward, and such foes to descry
As they should ne’er my heart approaching spy:
But traitor Eyes, my heart’s death did conspire
(Corrupted with H
To burn my heart: and sought no remedy,
Though store of water were in either Eye,
Which well employed, might well have quenched the fire.
R
Judges, to judge mine Eyes to punishment.
F
From wishèd sight, adjudged them banishment!
L
Adjudged them in tears for to be drowned!
