Say that I should say I love ye, <br />Would you say 'tis but a saying? <br />But if love in prayers move ye, <br />Will ye not be moved with praying? <br /> <br />Think I think that love should know ye, <br />Will you think 'tis but a thinking? <br />But if love the thought do show ye, <br />Will ye lose your eyes with winking? <br /> <br />Write that I do write you blessed, <br />Will you write 'tis but a writing? <br />But if truth and love confess it, <br />Will ye doubt the true inditing? <br /> <br />No, I say, and think, and write it, <br />Write, and think, and say your pleasure; <br />Love, and truth, and I indite it, <br />You are blessed out of measure.<br /><br />Nicholas Breton<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/an-assurance/
