Here you will find the Poem Dorinda's Sparkling Wit and Eyes of poet Earl of Dorset Charles Sackville

Dorinda's Sparkling Wit and Eyes

Dorinda's sparkling wit and eyes, 
 United, cast too fierce a light, 
 Which blazes high but quickly dies, 
 Warms not the heart but hurts the sight. 

 Love is a calm and tender joy, 
 Kind are his looks and soft his pace; 
 Her Cupid is a blackguard boy 
 That runs his link into your face.
