A woman´s face with nature´s own hand painted Hast thou, the master mistress of my passion A woman´s gentle heart but not acquainted With shifting change as is false women´s fashion
An eye more bright than theirs less false in rolling Gilding the object whereupon it gazeth A man in hue all hues in his controlling Which steals men´s eyes and women´s souls amazeth
And for a woman wert thou first created Till Nature as she wrought thee fell a-doting And by addition me of thee defeated By adding one thing to my purpose nothing
But since she prick´d thee out for women´s pleasure Mine be thy love and thy love´s use their treasure
