Tis better to marry than to burn

Should I marry? I wear this ring on the fourth finger of my left hand and it feels so heavy. A little circlet of gold to symbolize what, exactly? To remind me of what? He doesn't need beg remembrance of me. Love has already done that. I can't forget him though he may be very far away.

My name is my own. I will never take another's. Another may take mine. I agree only to the love, and will, only under threat of diamonds, submit to the circlet of gold.
