20 lines✦
ict. Ay, and so fairThat I am jealous of all eyes that see thee,And wish that they were blind. Prec. I heed them not;When thou art present, I see none but thee! Vict. There's nothing fair nor beautiful, but takesSomething from thee, that makes it beautiful. Prec. And yet thou leavest me for those dusty books. Vict. Thou comest between me and those books too often!I see thy face in everything I see!The paintings in the chapel wear thy looks,The canticles are changed to sarabands,And with the leaned doctors of the schoolsI see thee dance cachuchas. Prec. In good sooth,I dance with learned doctors of the schoolsTo-morrow morning. Vict. And with whom, I pray? Prec. A grave and reverend Cardinal, and his GraceThe Archbishop of Toledo.
