If ever man were lov’d by wife, then thee;<\/span>
If ever wife was happy in a man,<\/span>
Compare with me ye women if you can.<\/span>
I prize thy love more tham whole Mines of gold,<\/span>
Or al the riches that the East doth hold.<\/span>
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,<\/span>
Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.<\/span>
Thy love is such I can no way repay,<\/span>
The heavens reward thee maniforld, I pray.<\/span>
Then while we live, in love lets so prsever,<\/span>
That when we live no more, we may live ever.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
