If poets had ever been able to see the beloved's lips and eyes, one would have become sweet-spoken and another would have written magical poetry.

The poet pays the ultimate tribute to the beloved by making her beauty the very origin of poetic genius. He playfully suggests that if poets were blessed with a glimpse of her lips and eyes, her lips would inspire unprecedented sweetness in their verses, while her bewitching eyes would teach them to write pure magic. It implies that true mastery in art doesn't come from mere effort, but from being utterly spellbound by the beloved's grace.
