As Love and I late harbour'd in one inn,
With proverbs thus each other entertain;
"In love there is no lack," thus I begin;
"Fair words make fools," replieth he again;
"Who spares to speak doth spare to speed," quoth I;
"As well," saith he, "too forward as too slow";
"Fortune assists the boldest," I reply;
"A hasty man," quote he, "ne'er wanted woe";
"Labour is light where love," quote I, "doth pay";
"Light burden's heavy, if far borne";

"Y'have spun a fair thread," he replies in scorn.

Fools as we met, so fools again we parted.

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth;
and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
