649-654: “For where Love reigns, disturbing Jealousy
Doth call himself Affection’s sentinel,
Gives false alarms, suggesteth mutiny,
And in a peaceful hour doth cry ‘Kill, kill!’
Distemp’ring gentle Love in his desire
As air and water do abate the fire.”

Foul words and frowns must not repel a lover.
What though the rose have prickles, yet ’tis plucked.
Were beauty under twenty locks kept fast,
Yet love breaks through and picks them all at last.”

“But hers, which through the crystal tears gave light,
Shone like the moon in water seen by night.”
Gorgeous and straightforward metaphors and similes, great entry point for Shakespeare.

“Had I no eyes but ears, my ears would love
That inward beauty and invisible.
Or were I deaf, thy outward parts would move
Each part in me that were but sensible.
Though neither eyes, nor ears, to hear nor see,
Yet should I be in love by touching thee.”
