To a Friend upon Overburys wife given to her

I know no fitter subject for your view Then this, a meditation ripe for you,

As you for it.

Which when you read you'l see What kind of wife your self will one day bee:

Which happy day be neer you, and may this Remain with you as earnest of my wish;

When you so far love any, that you dare Venture your whole affection on his care,

May he for whom you change your Virgin-life Prove good to you, and perfect as this Wife.
