And many maiden gardens yet unset,
With virtuous wish would bear you living flowers,

Neither in inward worth nor outward fair
Can make you live your self in eyes of men.

O Mistress mine, where are you roaming? O, stay and hear; your true love's coming, That can sing both high and low: Trip no further, pretty sweeting; Journeys end in lovers meeting, Every wise man's son doth know. What is love?
