6 Die rather, die, and dying do her serve, 7 Dying her serve, and living her adore; 8 Your life she gave, your life she does deserve: 9 Die rather, die, than ever from her service swerve.

But foolish boy, what bootes thy seruice bace
2 To her, to whom the heauens do serue and sew?
Thou a meane Squire, of meeke and lowly place,
4 She heauenly borne, and of celestiall hew.
How then? of all loue taketh equall vew:
6 And doth not highest God vouchsafe to take
The loue and seruice of the basest crew?
8 If she will not, dye meekly for her sake;
Dye rather, dye, then euer so faire loue forsake.
