First Line: Truth, be more precious to me than the eyes
Last Line: More sacred than the pleasing of a friend.
Variant Title(s): Truth
Subject(s): Truth


Truth, be more precious to me than the eyes
Of happy love; burn hotter in my throat
Than passion, and possess me like my pride;
More sweet than freedom, more desired than joy,
More sacred than the pleasing of a friend.
