For as well as I have loved thee heretofore, mine heart will not serve now to see thee; for through thee and me is the flower of kings and knights destroyed.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I could not love thee, dear, so much, loved I not honor more.
Through this same man and me hath all this war been wrought, and the death of the most noblest knights of the world; for through our love that we have loved together is my most noble lord slain.
Mysterious love, uncertain treasure, hast thou more of pain or pleasure! Endless torments dwell about thee: Yet who would live, and live without thee!
O human beauty, what a dream art thou, that we should cast our life and hopes away on thee!
Most Glorious and eternal Majesty, Thou art righteous and holy in all thou dost to the sons of men, though thou hast suffered men to condemn Thy servant, Thy servant will not condemn Thee.
Thou hast created us for Thyself, and our heart is not quiet until it rests in Thee.
Most humbly, my beloved Saviour, I bow myself before thee. I am a worm and no man. I alone deserve to suffer. I alone shrink from suffering. I was with thee in thy days of joy, singing 'Hosanna,' and I wished to make thee King. Now, in thine hour of suffering, I am far from thee.
It behoves thee to love God wisely; and that may thou not do but if thou be wise.
O, Thou precious Lord Jesus Christ, we do adore Thee with all our hearts. Thou art Lord of all.
Follow love and it will flee, flee love and it will follow thee.
