You with your looks
on whom i look oft
and there is
great reason for deep delight
Your face is beautiful
your skin is smooth and soft
your lips are sweet
your eyes are clear and bright
And every part seems pleasant
in my sight
your beauty have done me evil
cos i love to look them even
At first,
your beauty lured me to look
and straight away
my eyes stirred up my heart to love
And wicked love
with deep deceitful hook
choked up my mind
whom fancy cannot move
Nor hope relieve
or other help behoove
but still to look
though i look too much
yet must i look
for never have i seen such
For in your beauty my love
my life have hold
and in such a life
my death draws back a bit
and for such death
no doctor can cure
but conteneously
looking upon your lovely face
Which is painted
with pity peace and grace
because your beauty makes me want to die
yet must i look cos my life depends on it
Since then
in your beauty
my eyes have so much interest
as it can no other beauty but yours
Yes here i yield
my life, my love, my all
into your hands
and all things else resign
But freedom to look into your eyes i seek
which when i do
i think it was my duty to look on
again and link with you in heart.
