Take, O take, those lips away, That so sweetly were forsworn; And those eyes, the break of day, Lights that do mislead the morn: But my kisses bring again Bring again: Seals of love but sealed in vain,
William Shakespeare (1564–1616), British poet. Measure for Measure (IV, i).
A well-known song; the eyes are lights that "mislead the morn" by suggesting sunrise and happiness rather than being betrayed ("forsworn"). The Unabridged William Shakespeare, William George Clark and William Aldis Wright, eds. (1989) Running Press.
