Orlando

How sad a thing it is
To look through others' eyes
At happiness: what's his,
Not mine in any wise,
That I desire, makes
A jealous fool of me
And jealousy then takes
My rationality.
Therefore I much prefer
To be glad for myself
And leave my envy's stir
On some internal shelf
There to be forgotten
Until my mind goes rotten.
