For just reward. The scaling of the wall

Was not the meed; there came the festival,

And now there comes the crown that I must don.

XII.

O my Belovèd! I am king of thee,

And thou my queen; and I will wear the crown

A little moment, for thy love's renown.

Yea, for a moment, it shall circle me,

And then be thine, so thou, upon thy knee,

Do seek the same, with all thy tresses down.
