If a Man should give all the substance of his House for Love, he would value it as nothing
Love I'd of Heaven have bought; when He, (this whoVVould think?) both Purchase was, and Seller too.
I offer'd Gold; but Gold he did not prize.
I offer'd Gems; but Gems he did despise.

If All wo'nt take, take what is left, said I.
At this he smil'd, and said; in vain divine
Love's Price thou beat'st; give nothing and shee's thine.
