"And Sophie wears one like unto this," said my father; and he took up a circlet of shining gold that lay among the tresses. "Sophie's marriage-ring was hallowed unto her. I gave it the morning she went out from me." He uttered these words with slow reverence of voice. Why did self come up? "You gave Sophie our mother's marriage-ring," I said, "and I" "Shall wear this," said my father.
She accepts from her lord a marriage-ring as the token of recognition. The king then goes away, after having promised to shortly send his ministers and army to escort her to his Capital. When Kanwa returns to the hermitage, he becomes aware of what has transpired during his absence by his spiritual powers, and congratulates Sakuntala on having chosen a husband worthy of her in every respect.
On some anniversary day you take up that ring, and you repolish it until all the old luster comes back, and you can see in it the flash of eyes that long ago ceased to weep. Oh, it is not an unmeaning thing when I tell you that when Christ receives a soul into His keeping He puts on it a marriage-ring. He endows you from that moment with all His wealth.
That I may not, however, appear to confine my observations entirely to the wife, I will conclude with another quotation from Jeremy Taylor, in which the duties of both parties are mentioned; while I would recommend his sermon on the marriage-ring to all those who, wiser than myself, are about entering the happy state of wedlock.
Clary was modified at last; she kissed and sobbed over Dulcie, wished her joy sincerely, half promised to visit her in town, and slipped a posy ring from her own hand to the bride's, on the very finger where Will Locke had the face to put the marriage-ring which wedded a comely, sprightly, affectionate young woman to struggles and disappointments, and a mad contest between spirit and matter.
Thus however speaketh avian wisdom: "Lo, there is no above and no below! Throw thyself about, outward, backward, thou light one! Sing! speak no more! Are not all words made for the heavy? Do not all words lie to the light ones? Sing! speak no more!" Oh, how could I not be ardent for Eternity, and for the marriage-ring of rings the ring of the return?
"It makes you doubly mine," he said; and he led me back to outside life, with this strange sort of marriage-ring circling with its planet weight around my finger. Did my father mean to keep me forever? And with the question came an answer that left sweet contentment in its pathway; it accorded with the intent of my heart. "Father, have you made me your friend?"
The boundless roareth around me, far away sparkle for me space and time, well! cheer up! old heart!" Oh, how could I not be ardent for Eternity, and for the marriage-ring of rings the ring of the return? Never yet have I found the woman by whom I should like to have children, unless it be this woman whom I love: for I love thee, O Eternity!
For there is a salt which uniteth good with evil; and even the evilest is worthy, as spicing and as final over-foaming: Oh, how could I not be ardent for Eternity, and for the marriage-ring of rings the ring of the return? Never yet have I found the woman by whom I should like to have children, unless it be this woman whom I love: for I love thee, O Eternity!
When the spring came again they had still a great deal of talking to do; but whether the young lady was weary of waiting for the marriage-ring, or whether she was jealous of the farmer's mother, or whether she thought they might continue like this for the next ten years if she did not make some effort, or whether it was the worldly counsels of her aunt, or what it was perhaps her own capricious nature, it is certain that they now began to quarrel a little about another gentleman.
