Love me little, love me long! Is the burden of my song: Love that is too hot and strong Burneth soon to waste. Still I would not have thee cold,— Not too backward, nor too bold; Love that lasteth till ’tis old Fadeth not in haste. Winter’s cold and Summer’s heat, Autumn’s tempest on it beat; It can never know defeat, Never can rebel. Such the love that I would gain, Such love I tell thee plain You must give or woo in vain, So to thee farewell. 16th Century
