XLIII. ISSOBELL YONG.
By loving so.
I trou ȝour love by loving so vnsene;Vnsene siklyk I languish for ȝour love:
Ȝour love is comely, constant, chaste, and clene;
And clene is myne, experience sall prove;
Prove vhen ȝe pleis, I mynd not to remove;
Remove vho may, if Destinies decreit:
Decreit is givin by Hymen high above;
Aboue all bands that blissed band is sweet:
Sueit is that ȝok so mutuall and meet;
And meit it war we met, if that we might:
We might perhaps our purpose then compleit:
Compleit it quickly, Reson thinks it right.
Right beiring rule, the righteous suld rejose:
Rejose in God, and on His will repose.
