III. Take heere my heart, I giue it thee for euer

Take heere my hart I giue it thee for euer

Take heere my hart I giue it thee for euer. No better pledge can loue to loue deliuer, Feare not my deare, it will not flye away, For hope and loue command my hart to stay, desire will make it range, Loue but my hart will neuer change.
