Answer: The central theme of the poem is how one should invest love (4), and in the end, the poet agrees with (2) the wise man's views.
Explanation: Just to elaborate a little on the answer, it can be added that this is poem XIII in A. E. Housman's collection of poems titled A Shropshire Lad (1896). The poem is a reference to the naivety, the immaturity and the overconfidence that are common traits of young people. A wise man told a young man that he could give money and jewels away, but not his heart, yet he didn't listen, since he was young and a know-it-all. The wise man insisted, warning him that once the heart has been given away, it has not been given for nothing. Sighs and rue are given in return. The young main is now only one year older, but he has already found out that the wise man was right.
