- | |
Indeed this very love which is my boast | B |
And which when rising up from breast to brow | C |
Doth crown me with a ruby large enow | D |
To draw men's eyes and prove the inner cost | E |
This love even all my worth to the uttermost | E |
I should not love withal unless that thou | C |
Hadst set me an example shown me how | C |
When first thine earnest eyes with mine were crossed | E |
And love called love And thus I cannot speak | F |
Of love even as a good thing of my own | D |
Thy soul hath snatched up mine all faint and weak | F |
And placed it by thee on a golden throne | D |
And that I love O soul we must be meek | F |
Is by thee only whom I love alone | D |
