O Set me as a seale vpon thy heart, and as a signet vpon thyne arme:* 1.1 for loue is myghtie as death, and gelousie as hel. Her coles are of fier & a very flame of the Lord. Many waters are not able to quenche Loue, neyther maye the streames droune it: yea yf a man would geue al the goodes of his house for loue, he should count it nothyng.
