The quality of all in lovers

Most esteemed is constancy;

’Tis by this that love works wonders,

This exalts them to the skies.

Mighty Love the hearts of maidens Doth unsettle and perplex, And the instrument he uses Most of all is idleness.

Sewing, stitching, any labour, Having always work to do, To the poison Love instilleth Is the antidote most sure.
