That power of love that I have power to give

Thou hast, with all devout obedience.

Employ me how thou wilt, in proof thereof.

Edward. Thou hear’st me say that I do dote on thee.

Countess. If on my beauty, take it, if thou canst.

Though little, I do prize it ten times less;

If on my virtue, take it, if thou canst;

For virtue’s store, by giving, doth augment.

Be it on what it will that I can give,

And thou canst take away, inherit it.
