Tixall Poetry.
E.Eyes nature framd cleare, sownd, and even,
As pictures copied out of heavin,
With whose agilitye and light
We tast the glorifieing sight.
L.Light nature taught and levitye
To th' eyes, that they the lips might see;
Had eyes bin such a paradise,
She'de taught the lips to se the eyes.
E.Blind lips have but one propertye,
When eyes can fele as well as see;
There nature nigardly dispenses
Her single, here her double senses.
L.Dumbe eyes, that see all others blis,
Are blind to their owne hapines,
And still there muteal objects smother,
Where lips can fele and kis each other.
E.The eyes are guides that still convey
Loves pilgrims on there nerest way,
Lest in a woode of rivalls frighted,
They loose themselves, and be benighted.
L.Such subtill guids turne jelous spyes,
For Argus had a hundred eyes;
