If we may live together
Sayang,
If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
compare with me, your woman, if you can.
I prize your live more than whole mines of gold
or all the riches that the one does hold.
My love is such that rivers cannt quench,
no ought but the love from you give recompentence.
Your love is such I can no way repay.
The heavens reward you manifold, I pray.
Then while we live, in love let’s so persever
that when we live no more, we may live ever.
