De amore Dei.
I have a Love, is Heven Kyng;
I love his love foreevermore!
Fore Love is Love and ever schal be,
And Love has bene ore we were bore;
Fore Love, he askys no nother fe
Bot love agayn; he kepis no more.
I say, herefore,
I have a Love, is Heven Kyng;
I love his love foreevermore!
Trew love is tresoure, trust is store,
To a love to Godis plesyng;
Bot leude love makis men elore,
To love here lust and here lykyng.
I say, herefore,
I have a Love, is Heven Kyng;
I love his love foreevermore!
In good love ther is no syn;
Withot love is hevenes;
Herefore, to love I nyl not blyn
To love my God and his goodnes.
I say, herefore,
I have a Love, is Heven Kyng;
I love his love foreevermore!
Fore he me lovyd or I him knew;
Therfore, I love him altherbest,
Ellis my love I myght hit rew;
I love with him to take my rest.
I say, herefore,
I have a Love, is Heven Kyng;
I love his love foreevermore!
Of al loveres that ever was borne,
His love hit passid everechon;
Nad he us lovyd, we were forelorne;
Without is love, trew love is non.
I say, herefore,
I have a Love, is Heven Kyng;
I love his love foreevermore!
