“Why seek my favours? Thine’s other caste;

An this deed thou do thou’lt repent the past.

“Say, does Love allow with two Faiths to play?

Men shall blame thee like me, at each break of day!

“Wilt thou laugh at beliefs and deride their rite,

And in thine and mine prove thee sinful sprite?

“An thou lovedest me thou hadst turnèd Jew,

Losing worlds for love and my favours due;

“And by the Evangel strong oath hadst sworn

To keep our secret intact from scorn!”
