The most eye catching words in this particular quote were the ones where the speaker describes the price of giving your heart away, with "sighs a plenty" and "endless rue". I agree that it is paid this away. I also feel that it's paid with tears, smiles, and even a skipped heartbeat or two.
This line was important to the poem because it explains why the wise man is warning the other of giving his heart away. He was insistent on keeping the heart in your own possession, and keeping your "fancy free". This is not because he was selfish or self-serving, but because he knew the consequences of falling in love.
This guy knew what he was talking about.
