if ever man were loved 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 cannon quench,
nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
thy love is such a can no way repay
the heavens reward thee manifold, i pray
then while we live, in love lets so persever,
that when we live no more, we may live ever.

"To my dear and loving husband" by Anne Bradstreet

1. Line 7:  The poet's use of hyperbole exaggerates the extent of her love for her husband based on the reciprocal love she enjoys from her husband.  She tries to show how highly she cherishes the love, such that rivers cannot extinguish feeling.  Truly, when one experiences true love, the person feels indebted to the lover and tries to give back so much love.  The feeling is simply an ecstasy.  It is like heaven on earth.

2. "in love, we live forever,

when we die, we live to love forever."

"We may live ever" means that the experience one gets from this kind of love is desired to continue unendingly.   By this, she questions anybody who has ever fallen in love to escape from the lover.  Nobody does that.  Like Peter, you will proclaim, "let some tents be built here, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah."
