Witchcraft by a Picture Songtext
I fix mine eye on thine, and there
Pity my picture burning in thine eye
My picture drown′d in a transparent tear
When I look lower I espy Hadst thou the wicked skill
By pictures made and marr'd, to kill
How many ways mights thou perform thy will?
But now I′ve drunk thy sweet salt tears
And though thou pour more, I'll depart
My picture vanished, vanish fears
That I can be undamaged by that art
Though thou retain of me
One picture more, yet that will be
Being in thine own heart, from all malice free
Pity my picture burning in thine eye
My picture drown′d in a transparent tear
When I look lower I espy Hadst thou the wicked skill
By pictures made and marr'd, to kill
How many ways mights thou perform thy will?
But now I′ve drunk thy sweet salt tears
And though thou pour more, I'll depart
My picture vanished, vanish fears
That I can be undamaged by that art
Though thou retain of me
One picture more, yet that will be
Being in thine own heart, from all malice free
