License To Love

I would in deed thee truly wed Token drops of blood for you bled Lavish garlands at your feet spread Kneeling at your feet all pretense shed Vow that by virtue and fealty be led Each promise proofed and carefully read  Barter my name in your stead Banish all pretexts; to self dead A humble leader not trite figurehead In your footsteps softly tread  Feast on your hospitality; in your graces bred Share your trials; vanquish your dread  Cultivate your esteem; nourish your bed Furnish your homestead; provide your bread
