LOVE'S VISIBILITY, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: With much pain, and all the art I knew
Last Line: Like drunkennesse, into the tongue 'twill get.
Subject(s): Love


1.

WIth much of pain, and all the Art I knew,
Have I endeavour'd hitherto
To hide my Love, and yet all will not doe.

2.

The world perceives it, and, it may be, she;
Though so discreet and good she be,
By hiding it, to teach that skill to Mee.

3.

Men without Love have oft so cunning

5.

The very Eye betraies our inward smart;
Love of himselfe left there a part,
When thorough it he past into the Heart.

6.

Or if by chance the Face betray not it,
But keep the secret wisely, yet,
Like Drunkennesse, into the Tongue 'twill get.
