I FIX mine eye on thine, and there
    Pity my picture burning in thine eye ;
My picture drown`d in a transparent tear,
    When I look lower I espy ;
        Hadst thou the wicked skill
By pictures made and marr`d, to kill,
How many ways mightst thou perform thy will?

But now I`ve drunk thy sweet salt tears,
    And though thou pour more, I`ll depart ;
My picture vanished, vanish all fears
    That I can be endamaged by that art ;
        Though thou retain of me
One picture more, yet that will be,
Being in thine own heart, from all malice free.
