I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love thee with the passion put to use In my old griefs, and with my childhood’s faith.

One could say that Shelley is presenting the idea that all women’s time should be spent doing things for men, for it is also portrayed that as soon as her father dies, she marries Alphonse.
