xxii. The Spouse to the Younglynges
The argument.
The
Spouse consyderyng the carefulnes that her Beloued
taketh for her and her maydens, admonisheth them
therof: and declaring what loue she beareth hym agayne, and
wyll doe euer, syngeth.
Christe my Beloued whiche styl doth fede
Among the flowers, hauyng delyght
Among his faythful lilies:
Doeth take great care for me in dede,
And I agayne with all my myght
Wyll do what so his wyl is.
My Loue in me, and I in hym,
Conioynde by loue wyll styl abyde
Among the faythful lilies:
Tyll day doe breake, and truth do dym
All shadowes darke, and cause them slyde
Accordyng as his wil is.
