True love:

"Mine own heartily beloved Cousin Katherine, I recommend me unto you with all the inwardness of my heart. And now lately ye shall understand that I received a token from you, the which was and is to me right heartily welcome, and with glad will I receive it; and over that I had a letter from Holake, your gentle squire, by the which I understand right well that ye be in good health of body, and merry at heart.

"...And if ye would be a good eater of your meat always, that ye might wax and grow fast to be a woman ye should make me the gladdest man of the world, by my troth...I pray you, my own sweet cousin even as you love me, to be happy and to eat your meat like a woman. And if you do so for my love, look what you will desire of me, whatsoever it may be, and by my troth I promise you by the help of our Lord to perform it to my power."
