English poem
I would my lover kneeling at my feet
"I would my lover kneeling at my feet In humble manliness should cry, `O Sweet! I know not if thy heart my heart will greet: I ask not if thy love my love can meet: Whate'er thy worshipful soft tongue shall say, I'll kiss thine answer, be it yea or nay: I do but know I love thee, and I pray To be thy knight until my dying day.'"*2*
