when_o such_o so_o many_o sweet_a delight_n shall_v all_o at_o once_o within_o we_o meet_v oh_o how_o we_o shall_v be_v rapt_v with_o joy_n and_o fill_v with_o pleasure_n extreme_a sweet_a and_o likewise_o concern_v time_n as_o for_o example_n he_o tell_v she_o that_o to_o enjoy_v such_o pleasure_n but_o one_o hour_n or_o a_o day_n be_v enough_o to_o possess_v the_o heart_n with_o

with_o very_o sweet_a pleasure_n till_o then_o much_o more_o may_v a_o long_a time_n delight_v we_o and_o so_o he_o may_v sing_v to_o she_o again_o to_o enjoy_v such_o pleasure_n but_o one_o day_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o ravish_v even_o our_o heart_n and_o mind_n with_o such_o sweet_a joy_n to_o think_v ourselves_o almost_o in_o heaven_n if_o in_o one_o day_n be_v so_o much_o joy_n such_o

can_v discourse_v and_o set_v forth_o the_o excellency_n of_o love_n by_o example_n as_o of_o seneca_n and_o paulina_n orpheus_n and_o euricide_n mausolus_n and_o artimesia_n mark_v anthony_n and_o

of_o adonis_n the_o elysian_a field_n or_o paradise_n when_o they_o enjoy_v their_o love_n they_o be_v so_o fill_v with_o delight_n if_o other_o in_o their_o love_n do_v find_v such_o joy_n such_o

thaereus_n never_o take_v such_o pleasure_n in_o his_o pamphila_n as_o i_o that_o be_v thou_o will_v together_o he_o think_v none_o live_v so_o happy_a as_o they_o two_o but_o we_o may_v swear_v it_o

or_o by_o contrariety_n that_o love_n be_v of_o so_o much_o force_n and_o excellency_n as_o the_o loss_n or_o want_n of_o it_o often_o cause_v in_o divers_a people_n extreme_a melancholy_n sadness_n

as_o for_o example_n the_o pleasure_n of_o love_n may_v be_v liken_v to_o fire_n a_o ardent_a flame_a joy_n to_o water_n a_o fountain_n of_o pleasure_n gold_n pearl_n amber_n honey_n the_o rose_n and_o sweet_a gay_a flower_n musk_n nectar_n ambrosia_n be_v not_o so_o precious_a so_o sweet_a so_o delightful_a as_o the_o pleasure_n of_o love_n that_o the_o elysian_a field_n or_o turk_n

and_o more_o serious_o if_o good_a occasion_n be_v he_o can_v tell_v that_o this_o conjugal_a or_o marriage_n love_n be_v often_o use_v as_o a_o similitude_n or_o resemblance_n between_o christ_n and_o his_o church_n that_o the_o canticle_n be_v whole_o a_o lovesong_n to_o this_o purpose_n and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v to_o be_v think_v no_o humane_a earthly_a joy_n represent_v that_o of_o heaven_n more_o than_o this_o of_o true_a love_n though_o there_o be_v no_o comparison_n or_o likeness_n between_o terrestrial_a and_o celestial_a happiness_n either_o in_o purity_n brightness_n worth_n or_o duration_n of_o time_n these_o earthly_a be_v as_o nothing_o or_o as_o dross_n in_o respect_n of_o the_o heavenly_a yet_o in_o respect_n of_o our_o earthly_a and_o weak_a apprehension_n such_o comparison_n and_o similitude_n since_o we_o find_v such_o in_o sacred_a scripture_n often_o be_v and_o may_v be_v make_v so_o some_o have_v think_v that_o love_n be_v even_o a_o joy_n divine_a a_o taste_n of_o heaven_n or_o by_o the_o effect_n of_o love_n to_o instance_n among_o many_o and_o divers_a in_o a_o few_o that_o love_n cause_v a_o man_n to_o carry_v himself_o fair_o courteous_o

a_o dancer_n a_o man_n of_o fine_a behaviour_n it_o make_v we_o enjoy_v all_o thing_n in_o the_o world_n with_o a_o sweet_a pleasure_n than_o otherwise_o for_o why_o it_o possess_v the_o heart_n with_o joy_n and_o a_o joyful_a heart_n take_v pleasure_n in_o all_o thing_n thus_o love_n do_v always_o fill_v our_o mind_n with_o bliss_n that_o still_o what_o ere_o we_o think_v or_o do_v it_o will_v delight_v we_o so_o whether_o we_o study_v work_n or_o play_v true_a love_n will_v turn_v all_o into_o joy_n further_o concern_v the_o effect_n of_o love_n he_o can_v tell_v she_o that_o a_o
