Everything I Do, I Do It For You - Shakespeare Style

with all due respect to the Bryan Adams classic, this is my Bardish version:

heed my visage close thou wilt mark 
to me thou meanest all
thy bosom enquire soul beside
wherein shall I be found
thy searchings done

hold thy tongue ere the effort all
speaketh not of a full forfeit
knowest thou forsooth 
mine whole intent only is for thee

thy bosom enquire discover there
aught of secrets be
my impulse be thine stay mine breath
bequeathe my lot in surrender all
speaketh not of a full forfeit
fair taken I for aught I desireth
verily thou knowest
mine whole intent only is for thee

none ardor is belike thine 
nor couldst return beyond its like
none adobe prevail cept thee therein
fully and in perpetuum

thy bosom inquire
verily
hold thy tongue ere the effort all
not stayed am I for full desire
wouldst war for thee
forswear for thee
take leave mine footsteps
givst mine breath for thee
thou knowest verily
mine whole intent only is for thee.
