Read the following lines from the poem.
"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.
The tone of these lins can best be described as--

• accepting
• exuberant
• understated
• hopeful

In the poem, the phrase “ought but love from thee, give recompense” (line 8), most nearly means—

• All I’ve earned and desire from you is your love in return
• As my husband, you owe me much more than love
• I love you even if you do not return my love as you should
• We deserve more from life, but our love is enough to sustain

The poem’s final three lines signals a shift from—

• A hopeful tone to an anxious tone
• An attitude of speculation to one of conviction
• realism to fantasy
• worldly concerns to spiritual concerns
