Were I as base as is the lowly plain,
And you, my love ,as high as heaven above,
Yes,should the thoughts of me your humble swain
Ascend to heaven in honor of my love
Were I as high as heaven above the plain
And you,my love,as humble and as low
As are the deepest bottoms of the main
Whereso'er you were with you my love should go
Were you the earth,dear love,and I the skies,
My love should shine on you like to the sun,
And look upon you with ten thousand eyes
Till heaven wax'd blind,and till the world were done
Whereso'er I am, below,or else above you,
Whereso'er you are ,my heart shall truly love you
