If ever two were one, than surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me, ye woman, if you can. I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold Or all the riches that the East doth hold. My love is such that rivers cannot quench Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense. Thy love is such I can no way repay The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray The while we live, in love let's so persevere That when we live no more, we may live ever.
