I have a love is Heven-King;
 I love His love for evermore.

For love is love and ever shall be,
 And love has been or we were bore;
For love He askes non other fee
 But love again; He kepes no more.
  I say herefore: I have, etc.

Trew love is tresoure, trust is store
 To a love to Godes plesing;
But lewde love makes men y-lore,
 To love here lust and here liking.
  I say herefore: I have, etc.

In good love there is no sin;
 Without love is heviness:
Herfore to love I n'il not blin,
 To love my God and His goodness.
  I say herefore: I have, etc.

For He me loved or I Him knew,
 Therfore I love Him altherbest
(Elles my love I might it rew);
 I love with Him to take my rest.
  I say herefore: I have, etc.

Of all loveres that ever was born
 His love it passed everichone.
N'ad He us loved we were forlorn;
 Without His love trew love is none.
  I say herefore: I have, etc.
