-:Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
-:Guilty of dust and sin.
-:But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
-:From my first entrance in,
-:Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
-:If I lack'd anything.
-<br>
-:A guest, I answer'd, worthy to be here:
-:Love said, You shall be he.
-:I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,
-:I cannot look on thee.
-:Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
-:Who made the eyes but I?
-<br>
-:Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them: let my shame
-:Go where it doth deserve.
-:And know you not, says Love, who bore the blame?
-:My dear, then I will serve.
-:You must sit down, says Love, and taste my meat:
-:So I did sit and eat.
