'Put off that mask of burning gold
With emerald eyes.'
'O no, my dear, you make so bold
find if hearts be wild and wise,
And yet cold.'
'I would but find what's there to find,
Love or deceit.'
'It was the mask engaged mind,
And after set your heart to beat,
Not what's behind.'
'But lest you are my enemy,
I enquire.'
'O no, my dear, let all that be,
What matter, so there is but fire
In you, me?'
