English text

Where most my thoughts, there least mine eye is striking;
Where least I come, there most my heart abideth;
Where most I love, I never show my liking;
From what my mind doth hold, my body slideth:
I careless seem, where most my care dependeth;
A coy regard, where most my soul attendeth.
