Maria

There's many a lover likes it ill
If others serve his lady and solicit her good-will;
For he alone would serve her, only her, for grace and greeting fair.
Ye Christians, let your zeal be great,
And haste to serve my Lady! serve her early, serve her late!
For it will please me well, if she will set you free from all your care.
No servant to another show ill-feeling!
Let them shun all lewd thoughts and evil dealing!
She is pure; no impure thought comes nigh her;
True love dwells with her constantly.
From blemish she is wholly free.
Blest man, who once is kindly greeted by her!
