For all the walls and windows there are writ,
All full of love, and love, and love my deare,
And all their talke and studie is of it.

Unlesse that some gay Mistresse badge he bears:
Ne any one himselfe doth ought esteeme,
Unlesse he swin in love up to the ears.

And him do sue and serve all otherwise.

His mightie mysteries they do prophane,
And use his ydle name to other needs,
But as a complement for courting vaine.

But make him serve to them for sordid uses,
Ah my dread Lord, that doest liege hearts possesse,
Avenge they selfe on them for their abuses. — Edmund Spenser
