Original text and translations
English text
Change me, O heav'ns, into the ruby stone,
that on my love's fair locks doth hang in gold,
yet leave me speech to her to make my moan,
give me eyes her beauties to behold, her beauties
or if you will not make my flesh a stone,
make her hard heart seem flesh that now seems none.
