mutual_o and_o that_o he_o have_v rather_o be_v deprive_v of_o the_o union_n of_o love_n reciprocal_a than_o by_o union_n to_o lose_v the_o mutual_a and_o interchangeable_a affection_n of_o his_o dear_a affect_a and_o this_o may_v suffice_v for_o the_o definition_n of_o love_n yet_o will_v i_o not_o forbear_v to_o admonish_v these_o most_o beautiful_a lady_n that_o they_o be_v not_o too_o presumptuous_a in_o the_o title_n of_o mistress_n as_o though_o they_o themselves_o may_v not_o likewise_o come_v to_o be_v lover_n for_o though_o their_o heart_n be_v build_v of_o plaster_n of_o adamant_n yet_o be_v they_o not_o so_o hard_a but_o that_o love_n sometime_o with_o his_o golden_a arrow_n may_v pierce_v they_o therefore_o when_o i_o say_v enamour_a i_o intend_v aswell_o woman_n as_o man_n and_o by_o a_o lover_n i_o give_v to_o understand_v both_o the_o one_o and_o the_o other_o by_o the_o same_o way_n and_o mean_v that_o amorous_a passion_n in_o humane_a heart_n be_v engender_v as_o by_o beauty_n be_v a_o object_n to_o the_o sight_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o mother_n thereof_o so_o may_v we_o affirm_v with_o the_o authority_n of_o petrarch_n that_o the_o eye_n be_v guide_n unto_o the_o path_n of_o love_n and_o therefore_o in_o the_o first_o terzetto_n of_o his_o sonnet_n he_o say_v there_o be_v a_o day_n when_o the_o sun_n be_v darken_v love_n i_o unarmed_a altogether_o find_v and_o open_a do_v make_v the_o way_n by_o eye_n my_o heart_n to_o kill_v which_o to_o my_o tear_n be_v ford_n from_o whence_o they_o do_v distil_v and_o in_o the_o five_o stanza_n of_o the_o sonnet_n so_o weak_a the_o thread_n be_v whereupon_o my_o irksome_a life_n depend_v and_o also_o with_o my_o heart_n let_v both_o those_o light_n feel_v smart_a which_o to_o the_o path_n of_o love_n do_v guide_v i_o to_o depart_v and_o not_o only_o the_o lover_n eye_n as_o the_o way_n but_o those_o also_o of_o her_o belove_a do_v necessary_o concur_v to_o the_o imprint_n of_o this_o amorous_a passion_n as_o affirm_v the_o same_o poet_n in_o the_o sonnet_n love_n have_v i_o set_v as_o white_a unto_o the_o shaft_n say_v your_o eye_n this_o mortal_a blow_n do_v towards_o i_o direct_v against_o which_o prevail_v no_o time_n nor_o place_n can_v well_o protect_v and_o in_o the_o sonnet_n o_o cruel_a star_n if_o heaven_n in_o we_o have_v any_o force_n and_o cruel_a woman_n of_o who_o eye_n i_o take_v remorse_n as_o eke_o the_o bow_n whereto_o i_o for_o a_o mark_n do_v rest_n that_o make_v the_o wound_n whereby_o with_o love_n i_o do_v not_o jest_v and_o in_o the_o sonnet_n when_o by_o the_o eye_n into_o the_o heart_n profound_a a_o woman_n do_v her_o lively_a image_n send_v then_o all_o thing_n else_o depart_v away_o full_a round_a and_o virtue_n which_o the_o soul_n do_v comprehend_v then_o leave_v the_o rest_n of_o all_o the_o member_n straight_o inimoveable_a much_o like_o a_o ponderous_a weight_n we_o therefore_o conclude_v with_o the_o poet_n will_v say_v that_o the_o eye_n be_v those_o that_o swallow_v down_o the_o idea_n of_o the_o beauty_n belove_v and_o transport_v it_o to_o the_o lover_n heart_n whereupon_o the_o mind_n incite_v by_o that_o most_o delectable_a contentment_n enter_v into_o contemplation_n and_o feel_v of_o that_o influence_n wherewith_o it_o be_v move_v and_o by_o little_a and_o little_o set_v on_o fire_n especial_o when_o unto_o this_o there_o come_v the_o reverberation_n against_o they_o of_o those_o most_o glitter_a beam_n send_v forth_o from_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o belove_a so_o that_o fresh_a fuel_n add_v to_o the_o former_a fire_n all_o these_o together_o inflame_v with_o amorous_a heat_n and_o as_o it_o be_v not_o in_o our_o power_n most_o noble_a queen_n to_o resist_v amorous_a affection_n as_o that_o which_o in_o a_o moment_n alter_v the_o vital_a spirit_n make_v impression_n in_o our_o sensible_a faculty_n so_o not_o be_v able_a without_o the_o consent_n of_o reason_n to_o break_v forth_o

of_o savage_a beast_n be_v term_v bestial_a wherefore_o as_o this_o disordinate_a love_n be_v the_o norishment_n of_o all_o vice_n so_o temperate_a love_n be_v the_o principal_a original_n of_o all_o

of_o true_a beauty_n in_o that_o far_o from_o all_o brutish_a action_n in_o the_o only_a contemplation_n of_o his_o fair_a and_o dear_a belove_a he_o rest_v satisfy_v who_o behold_v beauty_n as_o

chaste_o enamour_v desire_v to_o attain_v to_o a_o kiss_n as_o be_v a_o true_a connexion_n of_o the_o soul_n wherefore_o the_o divine_a philosopher_n in_o his_o conuivio_fw-la speak_v of_o one_o

this_o be_v which_o we_o call_v beauty_n i_o will_v affirm_v that_o it_o be_v no_o other_o but_o a_o most_o precious_a quality_n which_o shine_v in_o the_o universal_a frame_n grow_v from_o
