And now goodnight, best, beautifullest, belovedest, blessingest of wives.

(fragment only) And now goodnight, best, beautifullest, belovedest, blessingest of wives. Notwithstanding what I have said of the fleeting and unsatisfying bliss of dreams, still, if thy husband's prayers and wishes can bring thee, or even a shadow of thee, into his sleep, thou or thy image will assuredly be there. Good night, ownest. I bid thee good night, although it is still early in the evening; be cause I must reserve the rest of the page to greet thee upon in the morning.
