MAROT'S LOVE, by             Poem Explanation         Poet's Biography
First Line: The lady who my thoughts does captive take
Last Line: Since love with tenfold loving I repay.'


THE lady who my thoughts does captive take
One day said something which I value so,
That I no other recompense can make,
But the words printed in my heart to show.
She told me, with the pretty laugh you know,
'I think that I must love you after all.'
I answered her, 'Not mine I wish to call
So vast a treasure, for I truly say
I reason have to fear, if this befall,
Since love with tenfold loving I repay.'
