A pledge, am I, strict contract,
Both shackle and sweet reward,
Bind the lover to stern pact,
For she is his, he is hers.
Captive, they submit their troth,
Freed birds, they wing o'er new love,
Hark! Fools, do not make God wroth,
Covenant honored above.
I signify pure, true love,
Lacking room for other hearts,
Chastely joined by God above,
Man and wife should never part.
