Subtle he needs must be, who could seduce Angels

Be strong, live happy, and love, but first of all Him whom to love is to obey

Long is the way And hard, that out of Hell leads up to light

Should God create another Eve, and I
Another Rib afford, yet loss of thee
Would never from my heart; no no, I feel
The Link of Nature draw me: Flesh of Flesh,
Bone of my Bone thou art, and from thy State
Mine never shall be parted, bliss or woe.

Our state cannot be severed, we are one,
One flesh; to lose thee were to lose myself.

Freely we serve
Because we freely love, as in our will
To love or not; in this we stand or fall.
