Ahh what be this love that for those shes Dante andst Petrarch didst long with soules opprest andst didst long to for their heads to rest their heads inst their brests Ahh we do not have to guess at what made these men to long their lips to her lips to press well we know without seeing that these fair dames hadst beauty that didst the eyes of these men to claim Andst why didst Beatrice andst Laura these passions distaine whenst to deities these men didst proclaim wellst again it be plain that these men didst not have what these dames didst acclaim andst thus we see the truth be But be for love to be well we all do see thee must have what the other doth want for she or he for love Ohh love sweet love be thru andst thru mercenary ast the white Dove to the hand with the most grain doth upon with love to land
