You lovers, for whose sake, the lesser Sunne
At this time to the Goat is runne
To fetch new lust, and give it you,
Enjoy your summer all.

Study me then, you who shall lovers bee
At the next world, that is, at the next Spring:
For I am every dead thing,
In whom love wrought new Alchimie.

—- ( snip ) —-

Oft a flood
Have we two wept, and so
Drowned the whole world, us two;

You Lovers
