Every 10th word

Go talk to her, sweet flower, 
To whom fain would talk 
Tell her I hour by  
Pine on my own poor stalk. 

Tell that I should live 
Not quite so sore distressed, 
If she to you would give 
A upon her breast 

Tell her that should she  
To my parched plot to see 
If be dead, that I 
No more should withered be. 

If I were dead, her feet 
My would revive, 
As may her bosom sweet 
you, sweet flower, alive.
