Appreciation of “huswifery”
Taylor gets straight to the human point even in the title, telling us that we are about to read about housework and domesticity. By asking God to use him as a woman would use a mundane, everyday object (in this case, a spinning wheel).

Puritanism
A dominant factor in American life, one of the most enduring shaping influences in American thought and American literature.(p.11)
Anne Bradstreet wrote on the everlasting theme of love to eulogize the true love between her husband and her. She strongly praised the sincerity of their love and felt grateful for all the love she had enjoyed from her husband. When they were alive, that love was so abundant and burning hot that rivers cannot quench; when they die, their death would just prove the love constant. The true love has overgrown the power of time and space.
The Puritan migration began, and the first settlers advocated highly religious and moral principles.

Religious Doctrines of Puritans
Calvinism: predestination, original sin, total depravity, and limited atonement.
Puritans regarded themselves as chosen people of God, embraced hardships, industry and frugality, favored a disciplined, hard, somber, ascetic and harsh life, opposed arts and pleasure, suspect joy and laughter as symptoms of sin.

Edward Taylor
A meditative poet, Taylor came nearest to the English baroque poet.
For all his un-puritan imagery, however, he was, first and last, a puritan poet, concerned about how his images speak for God. What makes Edward Taylor's poetry and mediations unique is that his relationship with God is deeply rooted in the physical world. In incorporating God even into his own corporal body, Taylor marries together both the human and the divine, celebrating the best of both worlds .

Captain Christopher Newport reached Virginia in 1607.
Puritans came to the New England area by “Mayflower” in 1620.

Purpose of writing: pragmatic Contents: practical matter-of-fact accounts of life in
the new world; highly theoretical discussions of religious questions. Style: tight and logic structure, precise and compact expression, avoidance of rhetorical decoration, adoption of homely imagery, simplicity of diction.
The short poem is written in iambic pentameter, rhymed “aa, bb, cc, dd, ee, ff.”. In other word, this poem is written in couplet.

致我亲爱的丈夫
假如红尘连理能融为一体,你我必添欢快, 假如世间男子能得妻所爱,你可自去开怀, 假如有哪位女子醉心于丈夫的给予, 请你来和我比较,如果你有足够的幸福 我赞美你的爱胜过普天之下的金矿, 我珍惜你的爱强于东方世界的珍藏. 我的爱热烈似火,万千河水熄不灭他的烈焰, 惟有你的爱能补偿这无悔的灿烂; 你的爱纯挚痴狂,我无以为报, 苍天将赐予你更多，我虔诚祈祷, 徜徉于人世,我们寻求永恒, 当生命枯竭,我们因爱永生。
