Love At First Sight - (from Philaster)

Sitting in my window, Pointing my thoughts in lawn, I saw a god, (I thought, but it was you,) enter our gates; My blood flew out and back again, as fast As I had prest it forth, and sucked it in, Like breath; then was I called away in haste To entertain you. Never was a man Heaved from a sheepcot to a sceptre, raised So high in thoughts as I: you left a kiss Upon these lips, then, which I mean to keep From you forever. I did hear you talk Far above singing; after you were gone, I grew acquainted with my heart, and searched What stirred it so. Alas! I found it love.
