IX.

Ber.
Love, do not rate your services so small,
As I to you, such love unto me bear;
For nothing past will Bertha ever call,
Nor on a food from heaven think to cheer.
As far as this frail brittle flesh will spare,
Such, and no further, I expect of you;
Be not too slack in love, nor over-dear;
A small fire than a loud flame proves more true.

Æl.
Thy gentle words thy disposition kenne
To be instructed more than is in most of men.
