All thy vexations
Were but my trials of thy love and thou
Hast strangely stood the test here, afore Heaven,
I ratify this my rich gift.

All thy vexations
Were but my trials of thy love and thou
Hast strangely stood the test here, afore Heaven,
I ratify this my rich gift.

That for thy right myself will bear all wrong.
–Sonnet LXXXVIII (88)

I love thee better than I love e’er a scurvy young boy of
them all.

Act II, Scene iv

While you, sweet dear, prove mistress of my heart.
-Taming of the Shrew,
Act IV, Scene ii

Thy love is better than high birth to me,
Richer than wealth, prouder than garments’ cost.
-Sonnet XCI (91)
