In loving thee, I love myself. 1658.
Let him never take a wife,
That will not love her as his life.
A heart content cannot repent.
I do not repent I gave consent.
No gift can show the love I owe.
What the heart saw the love hath chosen.
Love one little, but love one long.
Love him who gave thee this ring of gold,
’Tis he must kiss thee when thou art old.
