[X. Thrice blessed be the giuer]

Thrice blessed be the giuer

Thrice blessed be the giuer, be the giuer, thrice be the giuer, that gaue sweet loue that golden quiuer, and liue he long, and liue he long among the gods anointed, that made the arrow heads, that made the arrow heads sharpe pointed, if either of them both had quailed, had qualed, qualed, she of my loue, she of my loue, of my loue, and I of hers, and I of hers, of hers, had failed.
