BOYET
If my observation, which very seldom lies, By the heart's still rhetoric disclosed with eyes, Deceive me not
now, Navarre is infected. PRINCESS
With what? BOYET
With that which we lovers entitle affected. PRINCESS
Your reason? BOYET
Why, all his behaviors did make their retire To the court of his eye, peeping thorough desire: His heart,
like an agate, with your print impress'd, Proud with his form, in his eye pride express'd: His tongue, all
impatient to speak and not see, Did stumble with haste in his eyesight to be; All senses to that sense
did make their repair, To feel only looking on fairest of fair: Methought all his senses were lock'd in his
eye, As jewels in crystal for some prince to buy; Who, tendering their own worth from where they were
glass'd, Did point you to buy them, along as you pass'd: His face's own margent did quote such amazes That
all eyes saw his eyes enchanted with gazes. I'll give you Aquitaine and all that is his, An you give him for
my sake but one loving kiss. PRINCESS
Come to our pavilion: Boyet is disposed. BOYET
But to speak that in words which his eye hath disclosed. I only have made a mouth of his eye, By adding
a tongue which I know will not lie. ROSALINE
Thou art an old love-monger and speakest skilfully. MARIA
He is Cupid's grandfather and learns news of him. ROSALINE
Then was Venus like her mother, for her father is but grim. BOYET
Do you hear, my mad wenches? MARIA
No.
