LXVI (THIS TOO SHALL PASS)

Set aside thy fears - be not ruled by these.
What travail could befall that, together,
Each the other supporting, with such ease
As thou wouldst not expect, we'll not weather?
I so thee love as to make thee this oath:
That through every trial I'll thee protect
From all hurt and sorrow. An we both
Live in love, side by side, thou the object
Of my adoration. So greet the news,
Thou shalt never be alone. I am thine,
For all that thou shouldst need of me. My views
Show my goal: be worthy to have thee mine.
What thou need'st, that shall I ever got thee;
What thou fear'st, from that shall I defend thee.
