Martin Luther To His Missus.


O nearest dearest neighbour!

 O flesh that saves!

My educator in ecstasy

 and awakener to the ways of worship!

Heaven-sent sample of what's to come!

O gift God-given

 and certainly, for me,

his foremost earthly representative!

 O prettiest of popes!

My thanks-be-to-God

praise-the-Lord

loving wife!
