Default Re: would u plz help me understanding this poem

'Me telleth' means I tell ( I think)

device = will, desire, fancy.
on my faith - a mild oath.
propose = proposals, plans.
meet = fitting.
taken wise = considered to be wise.
of such manner condition = of such a character.
still after one rate = always in the same manner.
this wearied ghost = my life, my spirit.
