In which it seem’d that thou wert given to me,

Rending my body, where with hurried sound

I feel my heart beat, when I think of thee.

Love that I know, love I am wise in, love,

My strength, my pride, my grace, my skill untaught,

My faith here upon earth, my hope above,

My contemplation and perpetual thought:

The pleasure of my fancy, my heart’s fire,

My joy, my peace, my praise, my happy theme,
