VI.
Ber.My lord and husband, such a joy is mine;
But maiden modesty must not so say,
Albeit thou mayest read it in mine eyne,
Or in my heart, where thou shalt be for aye;
In sooth, I have but recompensed thy faie;
For twelve times twelve the moon hath been yblent,
As many times vied with the god of day,
And on the grass her gleams of silver sent,
Since thou didst choose me for thy sweet to be,
Still acting in the same most faithfully to me.
