| 1 | 1 | If thou | If thou must love me, let it be for nought |
| 2 | 2 | Except love | Except for love's sake only. Do not say |
| 3 | 3 | "I love her for her smile ... her look ... her way | |
| 4 | 4 | Of speaking gently, ... for a trick of thought | |
| 5 | 5 | That falls in well with mine, and certes brought | |
| 6 | 6 | A sense of pleasant ease on such a day" | |
| 7 | 7 | For these things in themselves, Beloved, may | |
| 8 | 8 | Be changed, or change for thee,-- and love, so wrought, | |
| 9 | 9 | May be unwrought so. Neither love me for | |
| 10 | 10 | Tho | Thine own dear pity's wiping my cheeks dry, |
| 11 | 11 | A creature might forget to weep, who bore | |
| 12 | Thy comfort long, and lose thy love thereby! | ||
| 13 | But love me for love's sake, that evermore | ||
| 14 | Thou may'st love on, through love's eternity. |
