Random Poem of the Day
2If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee.
3If ever wife was happy in a man,
4Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
5I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold
7My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
8Nor ought but love from thee give recompence.
9Thy love is such I can no way repay.
10The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray.
12That when we live no more, we may live ever.
