To My Future Wife
If ever thou didst love me first,
My heart shall pledge in boundless trust.
If thou bestowed upon me armor bright,
I would be thy golden knight.
If ever thou and I didst entwine,
I’d fight for thee with soul divine.
And if in battle I should fall,
I’d skip death’s grasp to heed thy call.
If ever two were one, then surely we,
If man were loved by wife, then blessed am I, indeed.
If ever joy in wedded bliss was known,
I trust thou shalt find it in our love alone.
For I prize thy love more than all the world’s gold,
Or treasures vast that mortal eyes behold.
If ever vows were made for eternity,
I vow forever, ever, to thee.

Dude, not sure if you meant to do this on purpose but some of these lines are from another poet . . . Her name is Anne Bradstreet she was a famous female colonial poet and the poem is called "To my Dear and Loving Husband". She literally says
"If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were loved by wife, then thee"
