Sonnet 113

        ,         ,              ,        ,        ,
      Since I | left you,| mine^eye | is in | my mind;
            ,           ,        ,       ,      ,
      And that | which gov|erns me | to go | about
             ,         ,         ,         ,       ,
      Doth^part | his fun|ction and | is part|ly blind,
        ,    ,                ,       ,       ,
      Seems see/ing, but | effec|tually | is out;
           ,        ,       ,       ,         ,
      For^it | no form | deliv|ers to | the heart
           ,          x          ,            ,          ,
      Of bird,| of flower,| or shape | which^it | doth^lack,
       .  T    T    T         ,          ,         ,
      Of his quick ob|jects^hath | the mind | no part,
                 ,   ,        ,           ,          ,
      Nor his / own vis|ion holds | what it | doth catch:
           ,       ,         ,     2     ,          ,
      For if | it see | the rud|est or gent|lest sight,
            ,      ,    ,       2    ,           ,
      The most | sweet fav/or or de|formedst | creature,
            ,        ,        ,         ,         ,
      The mount|ain or | the sea,| the day,| or night,
            ,         ,          ,       ,    2        ,
      The crow,| or dove,| it shapes | them to your | feature.
         ,    ,         ,        ,           ,
      Incap|able | of more | replete,| with you,
                 ,    ,          ,     2      ,        ,
      My most^/true mind | thus mak|eth mine^eye | untrue.
