Assuage, O tender youth, thine ardour great,

Subject the slender valour thou hast stored

To mine, which hath more honour and more weight;

For from this day I pledge my faith and word

That thou wilt be, what more canst thou require,

Thine only master, and thy proper lord;

And thou wilt jewels have and rich attire,

And live a life as happy and as free

As I can give thee, and thou canst desire,

If thou surrender with good-will to me!
