⁠the loue that they require,
Then haue they al their perfect ioie,
⁠and quenched is the fire.

¶ Rosemarie is for remembrance,
⁠betweene vs daie and night:
Wishing that I might alwaies haue,
⁠you present in my sight.
And when I cannot haue,
⁠as I haue said before,
Then Cupid with his deadly dart,
⁠doth wound my heart full sore.

¶ Sage is for sustenance,
⁠that should mans life sustaine,
For I do stil lie languishing,
⁠continually in paine,
And shall do stil vntil I die,
⁠except thou fauour show:
My paine and all my greeuous smart,
⁠ful wel you do it know.

¶ Fenel is for flaterers,
⁠an euil thing it is sure:
But I haue alwaies meant truely,
⁠with constant heart most pure:
And will continue in the same,
⁠as long as life doth last,
Still hoping for a ioiful daie,
⁠when all our paines be past.

¶ Violet is for faithfulnesse,
⁠which in me shall abide:
Hoping likewise that from your heart,
⁠you wil not let it slide.
And wil continue in the same,
⁠as you haue nowe begunne:
And then for euer to abide,
⁠then you my heart haue wonne.
