Original text and translations

English text

by Richard Edes

No love to love of man and wife, no hope to hope of constant heart,
No joy to joy in wedded life, no faith to faith in either part.
Flesh is of flesh and bone of bone when deeds and words and thoughts are one.

No hate to hate of man and wife, no fear to fear of double heart,
No death to discontented life, no grief to grief when friends depart.
They tear the flesh and break the bone that in word or thought alone.

Thy friend an other firend may be, but other self is not the same.
Thy wife the selfsame is with thee in body, mind, in goods, and name.
No thine, no mine, may other call. Now all is one and one is all.
