Here's a fragment of Shakespeare's "The Passionate Pilgrim" (

Every 2 lines could become a flavor text.
My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love:
Thy grace being gain'd cures all disgrace in me.
My vow was breath, and breath a vapour is;
Then, thou fair sun, that on this earth doth shine,
Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is:
If broken, then it is no fault of mine.
If by me broke, what fool is not so wise
To break an oath, to win a paradise?
Perhaps like this:
Vow of Poverty
My vow was earthly, thou a heavenly love:
Thy grace being gain'd cures all disgrace in me.
Vow of Seclusion
My vow was breath, and breath a vapour is;
Then, thou fair sun, that on this earth doth shine,
Vow of Eternal Servitude
Exhale this vapour vow; in thee it is:
If broken, then it is no fault of mine.
Vow of Brotherhood
If by me broke, what fool is not so wise
To break an oath, to win a paradise?
