INORDINATE LOVE by ANONYMOUS

First Line: I SHALL SAY WHAT INORDINATE LOVE IS
Last Line: OR WITHOUT QUIET TO HAVE HUGE LABOUR
Subject(s): LOVE - NATURE OF;

I shall say what inordinate love is:
The furiosite and wodness of minde,
A instinguible brenning fawting blis,
A gret hungre, insaciat to finde,
A dowcet ille, a ivell swetness blinde,
A right wonderfulle, sugred, swete errour,
Withoute labour rest, contrary to kinde,
Or withoute quiete to have huge labour.
