O my luve's like the melodie
That's sweetly play'd in tune!

So deep in luve am I;
And I will luve thee still,my dear,
Till a'the seas gang dry.

with life

And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.

Born here of parents born here from parents the same,and their parents the same,
I,now thirty-seven years old in perfect health begin,
Hoping to cease not till death.
