Knew my sorrow, brought me love:

My sweet turtle dove, I know,

If her other half should go,

Would not mate with any other,

Or fly from one tree to another.

This is a more passionate vein, with some adumbrations of a story in it:—

“Hide, O God, the moon in a mist,

Let me revel as I list;

Wrap like a shroud his face in a cloud,

Till my lover has kissed and kissed.”—
