be_v whether_o of_o they_o be_v best_o belove_v of_o thou_o and_o they_o seek_v of_o i_o this_o savour_n that_o thou_o either_o by_o sign_n or_o word_n resolve_v they_o herein_o be_v and_o therefore_o to_o the_o end_n that_o love_n from_o who_o all_o peace_n and_o goodness_n ought_v always_o to_o spring_v breed_n not_o now_o the_o contrary_a content_v they_o in_o this_o and_o with_o semblable_a

that_o may_v be_v see_v in_o take_v thereof_o and_o i_o she_o love_v better_a than_o what_o i_o be_v in_o as_o much_o as_o she_o have_v give_v i_o of_o she_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v no_o token_n of_o her_o last_o deserve_a gift_n as_o thou_o affirm_v but_o rather_o a_o beginning_n of_o amity_n and_o love_n a_o gift_n make_v the_o receiver_n a_o subject_n to_o the_o giver_n and_o because_o

they_o abide_v a_o long_a time_n contend_v and_o in_o the_o end_n depart_v without_o any_o definition_n at_o all_o now_o say_v i_o most_o puissant_a queen_n if_o you_o shall_v be_v demand_v of_o the_o last_o sentence_n of_o such_o a_o contention_n what_o will_v you_o judge_v the_o fair_a lady_n somewhat_o smile_v turn_v towards_o philocopo_n her_o eye_n sparkle_v with_o a_o amorous_a light_n and_o after_o a_o soft_a sigh_n thus_o make_v answer_v most_o noble_a youth_n question_n proper_a be_v your_o question_n and_o true_o as_o very_o wise_o the_o young_a woman_n behave_v herself_o so_o each_o one_o of_o the_o young_a man_n right_o well_o defend_v his_o cause_n but_o because_o you_o require_v what_o we_o last_o will_v judge_v thereof_o thus_o we_o make_v you_o answer_v it_o seem_v unto_o we_o and_o so_o it_o ought_v to_o seem_v to_o each_o one_o that_o take_v good_a heed_n that_o the_o woman_n have_v in_o hate_n neither_o the_o one_o nor_o the_o other_o but_o to_o keep_v her_o intent_n covert_n do_v two_o contrary_a act_n as_o appear_v and_o not_o without_o occasion_n and_o to_o the_o end_n she_o may_v get_v more_o assure_v the_o love_n of_o he_o who_o she_o love_v as_o not_o to_o lose_v the_o love_n of_o the_o other_o who_o she_o hate_v not_o it_o be_v but_o wise_o do_v but_o to_o come_v to_o our_o question_n which_o be_v to_o whether_o of_o the_o two_o great_a love_n be_v show_v we_o say_v that_o she_o love_v he_o best_o and_o he_o chief_a in_o her_o favour_n to_o who_o she_o give_v her_o garland_n and_o this_o seem_v to_o be_v the_o reason_n whatsoever_o man_n or_o woman_n that_o love_v any_o person_n each_o one_o through_o force_n of_o the_o love_n they_o bear_v be_v so_o strong_o bind_v to_o the_o person_n love_v that_o abou●_n all_o other_o thing_n they_o desire_v to_o please_v the_o same_o neither_o to_o bind_v he_o or_o she_o more_o strong_o that_o thus_o love_v need_v either_o gift_n or_o service_n and_o this_o be_v manifest_a and_o yet_o we_o see_v that_o who_o so_o love_v though_o he_o endeavour_n himself_o sundry_a way_n be_v not_o able_a to_o make_v the_o person_n love_v in_o any_o sort_n benign_a and_o subject_a unto_o he_o whereby_o he_o may_v bring_v it_o to_o his_o pleasure_n and_o so_o with_o a_o more_o bold_a face_n demand_v his_o desire_n and_o that_o this_o be_v in_o such_o sort_n as_o we_o say_v dido_n the_o inflame_a dido_n with_o her_o do_n do_v very_o well_o manifest_a the_o same_o unto_o we_o who_o burn_v in_o the_o love_n of_o aeneas_n so_o long_o aeneas_n as_o it_o seem_v she_o neither_o with_o honour_n nor_o with_o gift_n able_a to_o win_v he_o have_v not_o the_o courage_n to_o attempt_v the_o doubtful_a way_n of_o ask_v the_o question_n so_o that_o then_o the_o young_a woman_n seek_v to_o make_v he_o most_o behold_v unto_o she_o who_o she_o best_o love_v and_o thus_o we_o say_v that_o he_o that_o receive_v the_o gift_n of_o the_o garland_n be_v her_o best_a belove_a as_o the_o queen_n become_v silent_a philocopo_n answer_v discrete_a lady_n queen_n great_o be_v your_o answer_n to_o be_v commend_v but_o for_o all_o that_o you_o do_v bring_v i_o into_o a_o great_a admiration_n of_o that_o you_o have_v define_v touch_v the_o propound_a question_n because_o i_o will_v have_v judge_v rather_o the_o contrary_n for_o so_o much_o as_o general_o among_o lover_n this_o be_v the_o wont_a custom_n that_o be_v to_o desire_v to_o bear_v upon_o they_o some_o jewel_n or_o some_o other_o thing_n of_o the_o person_n love_v to_o the_o end_n that_o most_o time_n they_o may_v glory_v themselves_o more_o therein_o than_o in_o all_o the_o remnant_n they_o have_v &_o perceive_v the_o same_o about_o they_o therewith_o to_o glad_v their_o mind_n paris_n as_o you_o have_v hear_v paris_n

and_o in_o the_o end_n part_v without_o any_o definition_n wherefore_o i_o pray_v you_o that_o you_o will_v say_v your_o judgement_n hereof_o question_n young_a gentleman_n say_v the_o queen_n great_a be_v that_o pain_n of_o you_o and_o great_a wrong_n do_v the_o damsel_n commit_v in_o not_o love_v you_o but_o yet_o at_o all_o time_n your_o grief_n may_v by_o hope_n be_v ease_v the_o which_o

what_o my_o pain_n be_v how_o may_v it_o appear_v that_o jealousy_n bring_v great_a grief_n than_o be_v that_o i_o feel_v forsomuch_o as_o the_o jealous_a possess_v that_o he_o desire_v and_o may_v in_o hold_v the_o same_o take_v more_o delight_n thereof_o in_o one_o hour_n than_o in_o a_o long_a time_n after_o to_o feel_v any_o pain_n through_o want_n thereof_o and_o nevertheless_o he_o may_v

replete_a so_o much_o the_o more_o have_v it_o of_o grief_n and_o chiefly_a when_o as_o the_o same_o be_v noisome_a and_o that_o the_o jealous_a have_v more_o store_n thereof_o than_o have_v you_o be_v manifest_a because_o you_o heed_n nothing_o else_o but_o only_o to_o get_v the_o good_a will_n of_o the_o dansel_n who_o you_o love_v the_o which_o not_o be_v able_a to_o attain_v be_v to_o you_o a_o grief_n most_o grievous_a but_o yet_o it_o be_v certain_a that_o it_o may_v easy_o come_v to_o pass_v to_o attain_v the_o same_o at_o one_o instant_a not_o think_v thereof_o forsomuch_o as_o
