Unquiet Thoughts |
Unquiet thoughts, your civil slaughter stint, |
And wrap your wrongs within a pensive heart: |
And you: my tongue that makes my mouth a mint, |
And stamps my thoughts to coin them words by art, |
Be still: for if you ever do the like |
I’ll cut the string that makes the hammer strike. |
But what can stay my thoughts they may not start, |
Or put my tongue in durance for to die? |
When as these eyes, the keys of mouth and heart, |
Open the lock where all my love doth lie; |
I’ll seal them up within their lids for ever: |
So thought’s, and words, and looks shall die together. |
How shall I gaze on my mistress' eyes? |
My thoughts must have some vent: else heart will break. |
My tongue would rust as in my mouth it lies, |
If eyes and thoughts were free, and that not speak. |
