W:Love that is too hot and strong Burneth soon to waste: W:Still, I would not have thee cold, Nor too backward, nor too bold; W:Love that lasteth till ’tis old Fadeth not in haste. W: W:2 W:If thou lovest me too much It will not prove as true as touch; W:Love me little, more than such, For I fear the end: W:I with little am content, And a little from thee sent W:Is enough, with true intent, To be steadfast friend. W: W:3 W:Say thou lov’st me while thou live; I to thee my love will give, W:Never dreaming to deceive Whiles that life endures: W:Nay, and after death, in sooth, I to thee will keep my truth, W:As now, when in my May of youth: This my love assures. W: W:4 W:Constant love is moderate ever, And it will through life persèver: W:Give me that, with true endeavor I will it restore. W:A suit of durance let it be For all weathers that for me, W:For the land or for the sea, Lasting evermore. W: W:5 W:Winter’s cold, or summer’s heat, Autumn’s tempests, on it beat, W:It can never know defeat, Never can rebel: W:Such the love that I would gain, Such the love, I tell thee plain, W:Thou must give, or woo in vain: So to thee, farewell
