-Love me little, love me long,
-Love's the burden of my song.
-Love that is too hot and strong
-Burneth soon to waste:
-Still, I would not have thee cold,
-Not too backward, nor too bold;
-Love that lasteth till ’tis old
-Fadeth not in haste.
-Say thou lov’st me while thou live;
-I to thee my love will give,
-Never dreaming to deceive
-While that life endures:
-Nay, and after death, in sooth,
-I too thee will keep my truth,
-As now, when in my May of youth:
-This my love assures.
-Constant love is moderate ever,
-And it will through life persever:
-Give me that, with true endeavour
-I will it restore.
-A suit of durance let it be
-For all weathers that for me,
-For the land or for the sea,
-Lasting evermore.
