“For what thou art is mine: Our state cannot be sever'd; we are one, One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.”
John Milton
“For nothing lovelier can be found In woman, than to study household good, And good works in her husband to promote.”
John Milton
“     Awake, My fairest, my espous'd, my latest found, Heaven's last best gift, my ever new delight!”
John Milton
“What thou bidd'st Unargu'd I obey, so God ordains; God is thy law, thou mine; to know no more Is woman's happiest knowledge and her praise.”
John Milton
