passage 1
passage 2
to my dear and loving husband
by anne bradstreet
if ever two were one, then surely we
if ever man were lovd by wife, then thee;
if ever wife was happy in a man,
compare with me ye women if you can
i prize thy love more than whole mines of gold,
or all the riches that the east doth hold
my love is such that rivers cannot quench,
nor ought but love from thee, give recompense
thy love is such i can no way repay,
the heavens reward thee manifold i pray
then while we live, in love lets so persevere,
that when we live no more, we may live ever
a theme expressed in both \to my dear loving husband\ and \to the kings most excellent majesty\ is
gratitude and loyalty
envy and resentment
responsibility and obligation
growth and maturity

Explanation:

In "To My Dear and Loving Husband," the speaker expresses deep gratitude for her husband's love and loyalty. In "To the King's Most Excellent Majesty," the poet likely expresses gratitude and loyalty to the king (though the full text of the second poem isn't shown here, based on the title and common themes in such works). The other options - envy and resentment, responsibility and obligation, growth and maturity - don't fit the tone and typical content of these types of poems (one a love poem, the other likely a poem of praise to a monarch).

Answer:

gratitude and loyalty
