Dare all things for Love’s sake, since love is best.
Of Fate ask nothing, rather by your deeds
Rebuke for its niggard ways unblest,
And trust to Love shield you in your needs.
Remember in the shade the new years
Only what Love has given. This be
Daily your dole, a safeguard from your tears,
change and Time’s inconstancy.
—Knock loudly at Love’s door. is awake.
Offer him roses. 'Tis his month of June.
Watch all his ways. Do worship for his sake.
out his service. He shall serve you soon.
Know of Love, who fears not Fate’s disaster
Answers for and is of Time the master.
