Pythagoras his Letter which doth love commend,
Making of two at first one in the end.
Fair course of passion where two Lovers start,
And run together, heart still yoak'd in heart,
Two souls that joyn in one desire.
Iron and Loadstone, Hedrargyre and gold.
Amber and straw, pearl-fish and sharpling,
Sargons and goats. Sparage and rush.
Elm and vine. Ivie and oak. Myrtle and olive,
That with a smiling grace
Twine wreaths of eye-beams from each others face,
So gra••efull a receit of mutuall affection, that if she desir•• above all things to have him he feared nothing, but to misse he•• If he took her by the hand, and softly strained it, she think•• that knots of friendship ought to be mutuall, would with a swe•• fastness shew she was loath to part with it.
Looking of babies in each others eye••. The perfect abstract of all sympathie.
