Betroth in a sentence as a verb

The word comes from the French word fiancer, to betrothe.

So "fianc" + "é" + "e" = betrothed woman.

Yet dearly I love you, and would be loved fain, But am betroth'd unto your enemy: Divorce me, untie, or break that knot again, Take me to you, imprison me, for I, Except you enthrall me, never shall be free, Nor ever chaste, except you ravish me.
