William Shakespeare - Sonnet 24: “Mine eye hath played the painter and hath stelled…”William Shakespeare - Sonnet 24: “Mine eye hath played the painter and hath stelled…”
Work rating: Medium


Mine eye hath played the painter and hath stelled,  Thy beauty`s form in table of my heart,  My body is the frame wherein `tis held,  And perspective it is best painter`s art.  For through the painter must you see his skill,  To find where your true image pictured lies,  Which in my bosom`s shop is hanging still,  That hath his windows glazed with thine eyes:  Now see what good turns eyes for eyes have done,  Mine eyes have drawn thy shape, and thine for me  Are windows to my breast, where-through the sun  Delights to peep, to gaze therein on thee;      Yet eyes this cunning want to grace their art,    They draw but what they see, know not the heart.
