This page needs to be proofread.
Though my estate be poor, my raiment torn,

I am not really sorry I was born,
For God has given me my heart's desire—
Wine, and the Well-Beloved, and the morn.

Like to the intertwisted melody
Of harp and lute shall our true wedding be,
And such a marriage of fair music make
That none shall separate the Thee from Me.
