What play, act, and scene is this from?

Out of context, it's almost impossible to tell.

How about taking "but with my eyes" to mean "the way I see them" (Lysander & Demetrius).

Oops.
A Midsummer Night's Dream.
Act 1, scene 1 (Hermia)

Considering the context -- I,i of A Midsummer's Night's Dream, you're right. Hermia wishes her father would look upon the man she wants to marry with her eyes and appreciate him as she does.
