THE ANGEL IN THE HOUSE: BOOK 2. CANTO 10. PRELUDE. MARRIAGE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: In heaven none marry. Grant the most
Last Line: Where now and then are no more twain!
Subject(s): Marriage; Weddings; Husbands; Wives


'In heaven none marry.' Grant the most
Which may by this dark word be meant,
Who shall forbid the eternal boast
'I kiss'd, and kiss'd with her consent!'
If here, to Love, past favour is
A present boast, delight, and chain,
What lacks of honour, bond, and bliss,
Where Now and Then are no more twain!
