  1. But add not to his joy by your consent,
  2. And let it not be given, but only lent;
  3. Return no kiss, nor move in any sort,
  4. Make it a dull and a malignant sport.
  5. Had I my wish he should no pleasure take,
  6. But slubber o'er your bus'ness for my sake;
  7. And whate'er fortune shall this night befall,
  8. Coax me to morrow by forswearing all.
