Chapter 6

 I would in that sweet bosom¹ be

    (O sweet it is and fair it is!)

Where no rude wind might visit me.

    Because of sad austerities

I would in that sweet bosom be.

 

I would be ever in that heart

    (O soft I knock and soft entreat² her!)

Where only peace might be my part.

    Austerities were all the sweeter

So I were ever in that heart.
