Lady, the melting crystal of your eye

Lady, the melting crystal of your eye

Like frozen drops upon your cheeks did lie;

Mine eye was dancing on them with delight,

And saw love's flames within them burning bright,

Which did mine eye entice

To play with burning ice;

But O, my heart thus sporting with desire,

My careless eye did set my heart on fire.

O that a drop from such a sweet fount flying

Should flame like fire and leave my heart a-dying!

I burn, my tears can never drench it

Till in your eyes I bathe my heart and quench it:

But there, alas, love with his fire lies sleeping,

And all conspire to burn my heart with weeping.
