i'm completely stuck on these translations:
1 In faith, I do not love thee with mine eyes,
2 For they in thee a thousand errors note;
3 But 'tis my heart that loves what they despise,
4 Who in despite of view is pleased to dote;
5 Nor are mine ears with thy tongue's tune delighted,
6 Nor tender feeling, to base touches prone,
7 Nor taste, nor smell, desire to be invited
8 To any sensual feast* with thee alone*:
9 But my five wits* nor my five senses can
10 Dissuade one foolish heart from serving thee,
11 Who leaves unsway'd the likeness of a man*,
12 Thy proud hearts slave and vassal wretch to be:
13 Only my plague thus far I count my gain,
14 That she that makes me sin awards me pain.
i need help translating lines 4, 6, 11, 12, and 13 into just everyday language. like a paraphrase.
