Love me broughte
and love me wroughte,
man, to be thy fere
love me fedde
and love me ledde

and love me lette here.

Love me slou
and love me drou
And love me layde on bere.
Love is my pes,
for love I ches,
Man to buyen dere.

Ne dred thee nought,
I have thee sought
bothen day and night,
to haven thee;
well is me,
I have thee wonnen in fight.

Translation in modern english:

Love delivered me
and love created me
to be your companion, mankind

Love sustained me
and love guided me
and love abandoned me here

Love killed me
and love dragged me
and love laid me on the bier
Love is my peace,
and for love I chose,
to redeem mankind at great cost.

So you should fear nothing,
for I have looked for you
both day and night,
in order to be your haven;
I have done well,
for I have won you in battle.
