Like two proud armies marching in the field

Language: English 
Like two proud armies marching in the field, --
Joining a thund’ring fight, each scorns to yield, --
So in my heart your beauty and my reason:
One claims the crown, the other says ’tis treason.
But oh! your beauty shineth as the sun;
And dazzled reason yields as quite undone.
