Marriage Poem "To My Dear & Loving Husband" Heart T-Shirt

Anne Bradstreet (1612-1672) wrote in the Elizabethan literary tradition and became one of the first poets to write English verse in the American colonies. This t-shirt displays, in the shape of a heart, her beautiful love poem "To My Dear and Loving Husband," which describes the deep and passionate love of a wife for her spouse. This shirt is perfect as a Valentine's Day or anniversary gift--your husband will be reminded of your love every time he wears it. Here are Bradstreet's heartwarming words (note that "persever" is the archaic way to spell "perservere"): "If ever two were one, then surely we. If ever man were loved by wife, then thee; If ever wife was happy in a man, Compare with me ye women if you can. I prize thy love more than whole mines of gold, Or all the riches that the East doth hold. My love is such that rivers cannot quench, Nor ought but love from thee give recompense. Thy love is such I can no way repay; The heavens reward thee manifold, I pray. Then while we live, in love let’s so persever, That when we live no more we may live ever."
