Lady Mary Wroth - "Can pleasing sight misfortune ever bring" lyrics

Can pleasing sight misfortune ever bring? Can firm desire a painful torment try? Can winning eyes prove to the heart a sting? Or can sweet lips in treason hidden lie? The Sun most pleasing blinds the strongest eye If too much look'd on, breaking the sight's string; Desires still crossed must unto mischief hye, And as despair, a luckless chance may fling. Eyes, having won, rejecting proves a sting k**ing the bud before the tree doth spring; Sweet lips not loving do as poison prove: Desire, sight, Eyes, lips, seek, see, prove, and find You love may win, but curses if unkind; Then show you harm's dislike, and joy in Love.
