    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";
    Quoth I, "The main lost, cast the by away";
    "Y'have spun a fair thread," he replies in scorn.
    And having thus awhile each other thwarted
    Fools as we met, so fools again we parted.

Wouldst thou, or thou,
Forego what's now,
