What Wells and springs of fire they be.
How their two lustres twining
Make mutuall shining,
Whilst one from the other kindled doth requite
It's borrowed, with as great a light for light,

And kindles back again.
And thus combining raies with raies,
And joyning flames like Marriage daies,
A holy Nuptiall 'twixt them do maintain.
2.
Yet these but the dark signes and emblems be
Of those concealed fires, which none see
But Gods, and such whose eyes
Love glorifies.
Between these Breasts a sacred flame doth spring,
Which intermingling Rites, whilst we do sing,
Is to it selfe the Priest.
Whilst Heart with Heart thus interwov'd,
And Paires made one, the Lov'd with Lov'd
Themselves between themselves in Hymens twist.
