By all your vows of love and that great vow
Which did incorporate and make us one,

No sooner met but they looked;
No sooner looked but they loved;
No sooner loved but they sighed;
No sooner signed but they asked one another the reason;
No sooner knew the reason but they sought the remedy;
And in these degrees have they made a pair of stairs to marriage.

Act V, Scene ii

My love is holy… say thou art mine, and ever
My love as it begins shall so persever.
