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.

Additional quotes by Anne Bradstreet

The principal might yield a greater sum,
Yet handled ill, amounts but to this crumb;

A Spring returns, and they more youthful made;
But Man grows old, lies down, remains where once he's laid.

Such cold mean flowers the spring puts forth betime,
Before the sun hath thoroughly heat the clime.

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. - Anne Bradstreet
