love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind and therefore is winged cupid painted blind. nor hath love's mind of any judgement taste wings and no eyes figure unheedy haste. and therefore is love said to be a child because in choice he is so oft beguiled. as waggish boys in game themselves forswear so the boy love is perjured everywhere. (act 1 scene 1 a midsummer night's dream)
