A SONG.

1.

TEll me no more of minds embracing minds, And hearts exchang'd for hearts; That Spirits Spirits meete as winds doe winds, And mix their subt'lest parts: That two unbodied essences may kisse, And then like Angels twist and feele one blisse.

2.

I was that silly thing that once was wrought, To practise this thin Love; I climbd from sex to soule, from soule to thought. But thinking there to move, Headlong I rowl'd from thought to soule and then, From soule I lighted at the Sex agen.

3.

As some strict down-look'd men pretend to fast, Who yet in closets eate: So Lovers, who protest they Spirits tast, Feede yet on grosser meate.

I know they boast they soules to soules convey, How ere they meet, the body is the way.

4.

Let all beleeve this truth that those that tread Those vaine Aeriall waies, Are like young Hares and Alchymists misled, To wast their wealth and daies, For searching thus to be for ever Rich, They only finde a medicine for the itch.
