THE MAN AND HIS WIFE
The man shall leave his father's house
And cleave unto his wife
Loving her with the greatest love
Laying down his own life
He shall nourish her and cherish her
And she shall give him reverence
Both submitted in the fear of God
Rendering due benevolence
They shall not be two, but shall be one
In body, soul and spirit
Defrauding not and keeping faith
Let none interfere with it
For the man's desire shall be for her
His wife shall be by his side
And he shall live for her all their days
As Nature does with the pride.
I really wonder what made me write this!!
With Love,

Usually most of the stories/poem we listen to are the other way round. You were not kidding when you said you wanted to do something different :).
Nice poem. Had some issues with understanding the Shakespearean language though. Was never good with it, even in school.
