In bearing thus the absence of your lord.

005 But if you knew to whom you show this honour.

[006] How true a gentleman you send relief,

How dear a lover of my lord your husband,

[011] Nor shall not now: for in companions

That do converse and waste the time together,

[013] Whose souls do bear an equal yoke of love,
