Accept him that shall serve thee all his youth,

Accept him that shall love with spotless truth.

If lofty titles cannot make[141] me thine,

That am descended but of knightly line,

(Soon may you plough the little land I have;

I gladly grant my parents given to save;[142])10

Apollo, Bacchus, and the Muses may;

And Cupid who hath marked me for thy prey;

My spotless life, which but to gods gives place,

Naked simplicity, and modest grace.
