My Lord, (my Love,) what loveliness doth ly,
In this pert percing fiery Eye of thine?
Thy Dove like Eyes ore varnish gloriously
Thy Face till it the Heavens over shine.
No Eye did ever any face bedight
As thine with Charming Beauty and Delight.

No Eye holes did at any time enjoy,
An apple of an Eye like this of thine
Nor ever held an Apple of an Eye
Like that thine held. Apple and Eye hole fine
Oh! How these Apples and these Eye holes fit,
Its Eye Omniscient on its fulness sits!

Never were Eyeballs so full trust with might
With such rich, sharp, quick visive Spirits tite
Nor gave such glances of such beauty bright
As thine, my Lord, nor wore so smart a Sight.
All bright, All Right, all Holy, Wise, and Cleare
Or ere discover did such beauty here.

Look here, my Soule, thy Saviours Eye most brisk
Doth glaze and make't most Charming beauty weare
That Ever Heaven held or ever kisst.
All Saints, and Angells at it Gastard stare.
This Eye with all the beauties in his face
Doth hold thy heart and Love in a blesst Chase.

Lord let these Charming Glancing Eyes of thine
Glance on my Souls bright Eye its amorous beams
To fetch as upon golden Ladders fine
My Heart and Love to thee in Hottest Steams.
Which bosom'd in thy brightest beauty cleare
Shall tune the glances of thy Eyes Sweet Deare.
