brought down from the Mount tablets inscribed:

What do you think?
>
>Now plainly I speak, since both I have seen;
>unfaithful is man to maid;
>we speak them fairest when thoughts are falsest
>and wile the wisest of hearts.
>
>Let him speak soft words and offer wealth
>who longs for a woman's love,
>praise the shape of the shining maid --
>he wins who thus doth woo.
>
>Never a whit should one blame another
>whom love hath brought into bonds:
>oft a witching form will fetch the wise
>which holds not the heart of fools.
>
>Never a whit should one blame another
>for a folly which many befalls;
>the might of love makes sons of men
>into fools who once were wise.
>
>The mind knows alone what is nearest the heart
>and sees where the soul is turned:
>no sickness seems to the wise so sore
>as in nought to know content.

I think blank verse sucks.

I also think "The mind knows alone..." should be "the mind alone
knows..."
