It’s often said that lovers are a pair

a perfect set, as mirror’d silver shows

But seeing you, my love, so bold and fair

for me the truth is clear as glass to know

I find instead you match me like a sword

and I the dagger kept to hand beside

Where’er we lack, the other builds a ward

and by this joining both are amplified

Strike out, my noble blade, and be assured

that I will guard you safe from other foes

Just as in times of peril I’m secured

to shelter with your steely strength oppose’d

Go forth and cut your mark! Our bond is true,

and never shall I disengage from you.
