A vertuous wife yt serveth life.
As long as life your loving wife.
I will be yours while breath indures.
Love is sure where faith is pure.
A vertuous wife doth banish strife.
As God hath made my choyse in thee,
So move thy heart to comfort mee.
God yt hath kept thy heart for mee,
Grant that our love may faithfull bee.
God our love continue ever,
That we in heaven may live together.
The eye did find, ye heart did chuse,
The hand doth bind, till death doth loose.
First feare ye Lord, then rest content,
So shall we live and not repent.
Breake not thy vow to please the eye,
But keepe thy love, so live and dye.
I am sent to salute you from a faithfull friend.
This and my heart.
Acceptance is my comfort.
Too light to requite.
