Hmm. Some stars for the language; some penalty for the content, which I remind myself that I am not obliged to like or make allowances for, as a modern reader.

'And craves no other tribute at thy hands
But love, fair looks, and true obedience;
Too little payment for so great a debt.
Such duty as the subject owes the prince,
Even such a woman oweth to her husband...'

Charming.
