That all Mates may Marry

Say what you wish, my rulers, pleaders and judges, 

Let it all be said, all cases, quotes, and grudges! 

But i pray for an end, now sooner than later,
 
To the long stormy battle between lover and hater. 

Rule that mates speak their vows, and no more in stealth, 

Pledge to honour and care, through sickness and health, 

Never again in fear, neither guilt nor shame, 

In love that tomorrow speaks bravely its name.
