The Heart Intire.

Canst thou love me, and yet doubt
So much Falshood in my heart,
That a way I should find out
to impart
Fragments of a broken Love to you,
More then all b'ing less then due:
O, no! Love must clear Distrust,
Or be eaten with that Rust;
Short Love liking may find Jars,
The Love that lasteth knows no Wars.
There Belief begets Delight,
And so satisfies Desire,
That in them it shines as Light
No more Fire;
All the burning Qualities appeas'd,
Each in others joying pleas'd;
Not a whisper, not a thought
But 'twixt Both in common's brought;
Even to seem Two they are loath,
Love being only Soul to both.
