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