First Line: LOVER, THAN LOVE MORE BLIND, WHOSE BOLD THOUGHTS DARE
Last Line: COULD GUARD, HOP'ST THOU TO KEEP THINE, WHO HAST NONE?
Subject(s): BLINDNESS; LOVE; VISUALLY HANDICAPPED;

LOVER, than Love more blind, whose bold thoughts dare
Fix on a woman is both young and fair!
If Argus, with a hundred eyes, not one
Could guard, hop'st thou to keep thine, who hast none?
