“To My Dear and Loving Husband”

By Anne Bradstreet

If ever two were one, then surely we.

If ever man were loved by wife, then thee;

If ever wife was happy in a man,

Compare with me, ye women, if you can.

I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold (5)

Or all the riches that the East doth hold.

My love is such that rivers cannot quench,

Nor ought but love from thee, give recompense.

Thy love is such I can no way repay,

The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. (10)

Then while we live, in love let's so persevere

That when we live no more, we may live ever.

1.  Whom is this poem addressed to? If just her husband, why does she address “ye women” in line 4?

2.  Quench means to put out, as a fire; to satisfy a thirst; to suppress, inhibit. What does this image, in line 7, suggest about the speaker’s feelings for her husband?

3.  What are the three metaphors in lines 5-8? What is she using them to say?

4.  In line 9, why would the speaker want to “repay” her husband if they truly are one?

5.  What is the paradox in the last line of the poem? What does it mean?

6.  How does the speaker feel about her husband?
