Love often knoweth no measure, but is inflamed above all measure.
*Love feeleth no burden, weigheth no pains, desireth above its strength; complaineth not of impossibility; for it thinketh all things possible.
*It is therefore able to undertake all things, and performeth and bringeth many things to pass; whereas he that doth not love, fainteth and sinketh under them.
*5. Love watcheth, and sleeping sleepeth not.
*Being tired is not weary, straitened is not pressed: frightened is not disturbed: but like a lively flame, it bursteth out aloft, and securely passeth through all.
If any one loveth, he knoweth what this meaneth.
The ardent affection of the soul crieth aloud in the ears of God, when it saith, My God, my love, thou art wholly mine, and I am wholly thine.
*6. Christian. Enlarge me in love, that with the inward mouth of my heart I may taste how sweet it is to love, and to be melted and swim in thy love.
Let me be possessed by love, mounting above myself with excessive fervour and admiration.
Let me sing the song of love, let me follow thee on high, my beloved: let my soul die away in thy praise, rejoicing through love.
