| | | LOVE, ope my heart! Hot fire thou forth shall take. | |
| Open my LAURA’s! In it thou shalt find | |
| Cold frost. Then of these two contraries make | |
| But one; and that same one, frame thou more kind! | |
| Of both our hearts, make but one loving heart! | 5 |
| And give it unto which thou please, of twain. | |
| Give it to her! To her do it impart; | |
| Or unto me! It skills not much the same. | |
| I’ll doubt no more, when but one heart we have | |
| Between us both: for this is all I crave. | 10 | | | |
