| 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 mdash | E |
| This love even all my worth to the uttermost | B |
| 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 | B |
| 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 mdash | E |
| And that I love O soul we must be meek | F |
| Is by thee only whom I love alone | D |
