Love’s Humility

---

My worthiness is all my doubt,

   His merit all my fear,

Contrasting which, my qualities

   Do lowlier appear;

---

Lest I should insufficient prove

   For his beloved need,

The chiefest apprehension

   Within my loving creed.

---

So I, the undivine abode

   Of his elect content,

Conform my soul as ‘t were a church

   Unto her sacrament.
