Слушать(AI)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;

May he for whom you change your Virgin-life Prove good to you, and perfect as this Wife.
Henry King
Henry King (1592 – 30 September 1669) was an English poet who served as Bishop of Chichester.
