_Herbert's "Church Porch."_--Will any of your readers help me to the sense

of the following stanza from George Herbert's _Church Porch_, verse 48:

"If thou be single, all thy good and ground

Submit to love; but yet not more than all.

Give one estate, as one life. None is bound

To work for two, who brought himself to thrall.

God made me one man; love makes me no more

Till labour come, and make my weakness score."

The lines of which I want the meaning are the last three.
