Where he allegeth that he was abusèd

In that he truly loving, was refusèd:

That's most untrue! and plainly may be tried.

Who never asked, could never be denied!

But he affected rather single life,

Than yoke of marriage, matching with a wife.

And most men, now, make love to none but heires[ses]

Poor love! GOD wot! that poverty empairs.

Worldly respects, Love little doth regard.

'Who loves, hath only love for his reward!'
