Is nowhere found
To flaw or else to sever,
So let our love
As endless prove,
And pure as gold forever.
LADY KATHERINE GREY’S WEDDING-RING.
The ring received by this excellent woman, who was a sister of Lady Jane Grey, from her husband, the Earl of Hertford, at their marriage, consisted of five golden links, the four inner ones bearing the following lines, of the earl’s composition:—
As circles five by art compact shewe but one ring in sight,
So trust uniteth faithfull mindes with knott of secret might,
Whose force to breake but greedie Death noe wight possesseth power,
