Not in fond vows that perish with a sigh,
But in those crystal realms where daylight dies;
For eyes don't lie when souls and hearts draw nigh.
O look! Those twinèd stars in midnight set,
Do speak more sweet than any honeyed tongue;
They whisper vows no mortal may forget,
And tune the air as if some seraphs sung.
Though lips may weave a garland of deceit,
And time put pomp where honesty should be,
Thy beauteous gaze makes every falsehood fleet,
And bares the faithful counsels born of thee.
Perhaps take thy hand, and let our hours apply;
When eyes don't lie, thou art my verity.
