That first thy flames were kindled in my breast,

Passing thereto through mine;

Yea, and thy virtue first unto my thought

Her visage fair it was made manifest,

Which picturing, I twine

And lay before her shrine

All virtues, that to her I sacrifice,

Become the new occasion of my sighs.

Thus, dear my lord, thy vassal am I grown

And of thy might obediently await
