prince :

how do i love thee?
let me count the ways
i love thee to the depth
and breadth ,and height
my soul can reach,
when feeling out of sight
i love thee to the level of everyday’s
most quiet need,
by sun and candlelight

i love thee freely,
as a men strive for right;
i love thee purely,
as they turn from praise
i love thee with the passion
put to use in my old griefs,
and with my childhood’s faith

i love thee with the breath,
smiles, tears,
of all my life!

princess :

i love thee! i love thee!
’tis all that i can say
it is my vision in the night,
my dreaming in the day,
the very echo of my heart,
the blessing when i pray:
i love thee! i love thee!
is all that i can say

i love thee! i love thee!
is ever on my tongue;
in all my proudest poesy
that chorus still is sung
it is the verdict of my eyes,
admist the gay and young
i love thee! i love thee!
a thounsand maids among

i love thee! i love thee!
thy bright and hazel glance,
the mellow lute upon those lips,
whose tender tones entrance;
but most, dear heart of hearts, thy proofs
that still these words enhance
i love thee! i love thee!
whatever be thy chance
