Explanation:

The seal most likely symbolizes this poem is love because the two stanzas talk about marriage and betrothal. This poem is about two people who are in love and they get marry. This couple believes in true love that's why the second stanza says "other betrothal shall dissolve" because they are comparing their love with the others that are not truly in love.
