The Mask

 'Put off that mask of burning gold
With emerald eyes.
'
'O no, my dear, you make so bold
To find if hearts be wild and wise,
And yet not cold.
'

'I would but find what's there to find,
Love or deceit.
'
'It was the mask engaged your mind,
And after set your heart to beat,
Not what's behind.
'

'But lest you are my enemy,
I must enquire.
'
'O no, my dear, let all that be;
What matter, so there is but fire
In you, in me?'
