As
virtuous men pass mildly away,
And whisper to their souls, to
go, Whilst
some of their sad friends do say, The breath goes now, and some
say, no: So
let us melt, and make no noise, No tear-floods, nor sigh-tempests
move, ’Twere
profanation of our joys To tell the laity our love. Moving
of th’ earth brings harms and fears, Men reckon what it did and meant, But
trepidation of the spheres, Though greater far, is innocent. Dull
sublunary lovers’ love (Whose soul is sense) cannot
admit Absence,
because it doth remove Those things which elemented it. But
we by a love, so much refined, That our selves know not what it
is, Inter-assured
of the mind, Care less, eyes, lips, and hands
to miss. Our
two souls therefore, which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A
breach, but an expansion, Like gold to aery thinness beat. If
they be two, they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two, Thy
soul the fixed foot, makes no show To move, but doth, if th’ other
do. And
though it in the centre sit, Yet when the other far doth roam, It
leans, and hearkens after it, And grows erect, as that comes home. Such
wilt thou be to me, who must Like th’ other foot, obliquely
run; Thy
firmness makes my circle just, And makes me end, where I begun. |
