Medieval/Renaissance Love Poem?
I’m looking for something to write on some expensive paper for my boyfriend, and he loves olde english poetry. Something about love, of course, short to medium in length, and not something over-used (e.g. How do I love thee, let me count the ways). Any suggestions?

Whenas the rye reach to the chin,
And chop-cherry, chop-cherry ripe within,
Straw berries swimming in the cream,
And schoolboys playing in the stream;
Then, O, then, O then, O, my true love said,
Till that time come again
She could not live a maid.
[George Peele]
