Step-by-step explanation:

some may have blamed us that we cease to speak

of things we spoke if in our verses early

saying: a love voice such as such

saying:that lady's eyes were sad last week ,wherein the world whole joy is born and dies

saying:she hath this way or that this much

ask us no further word

ask us no more of all the things ye heard

we may not speak of them, they touch us nearly.
