• Not by one measure mayst thou meet mete our love;
• For how should I be loved as I love thee?—
• I hardly ? graceless, joyless, lacking absolutely
• All grace/things gifts that doth with thy ? queenship best behove ; —
• Thou, throned in every heart's elect alcove,
• And crowned with every garland fair to see garlands culled from every tree,
• Which for no head but thine, by Love's decree,
• All beauties & all mysteries interwove —

• But here thine thy lips eyes and eyes lips yield soft rebuke, —
• 10“Then only” (sayest thou) “could I love thee less,
• If When thou couldst doubt my love's equality.”
• Peace, sweet! If not to sum but worth we look, —
• Thy love's figure ? heart's shared ? love's high ? love's assessment heart's transcendence, nor my love's heaped heart's love's heart's excess,
• Then more a thousandfold thou lovs't than I.

   

• Lancelot lay beside the well:
• ( God's Graal is good)
• Oh my soul is sad to tell
• The weary quest and the bitter quell;
• For he was the lord of lordlihood,
• And sleep on his eyelids fell.

• Lancelot lay before the shrine:
• ( The apple tree's in the wood)
• There was set Christ's very sign,
• 10The bread unknown and the unknown wine
• That the soul's life for a livelihood
• Craves from his wheat & vine.
