  1. Gladsome to me, 0 my life, this love whose offer thou deignest
  2. Between us twain lively and lusty to last soothfast.
  3. (Great Gods!) grant ye the boon that prove her promises loyal,
  4. Saying her say in truth spoken with spirit sincere;
  5. So be it lawful for us to protract through length of our life-tide
  6. Mutual pact of our love, pledges of holy good will!
