The Law Of Love

If love, for love of long time had,

May join with joy, and care hence cast,

Then may remembrance make me glad,

Days, weeks, and years, in all time past

My Love hath loved me so lovingly,

And I will love her as truly.

And as we twain have loved and do,

So be we fixed to love even still;

The law of love hath made us two

To work two willës in one will:

My Love will love me so lovingly,

And I will love her as truly.

Ye lovers all in present place

That long for love continual,

I wish to you like pleasant case

As ye perceive by me doth fall,

And yours to love as lovingly.
