Body and spirit are twins: God only knows which is which.

Marvellous mercies and infinite love.

Today will die tomorrow.

Who knows but on their sleep may rise Such light as never heaven let through To lighten earth from Paradise?

For winter's rains and ruins are over, And all the season of snows and sins; The days dividing lover and lover, The light that loses, the night that wins; And time remembered isgrief forgotten, And frosts are slain and flowers begotten, And in green underwood and cover Blossom by blossom the spring begins.

The delight that consumes the desire, The desire that outruns the delight.

If you were Queen of pleasure And I were King of pain We'd hunt down Love together, Pluck out his flying-feather, And teach his feet a measure, And find his mouth a rein; If you were Queen of pleasure And I were King of pain.
