Mutual affection between Orinda and Lucatia.
Come, my Lucatia, since we see
That miracles mens faith do move
By wonder and by prodigie:
To the fierce angry world let's prove
There's a Religion in our Love.
That miracles mens faith do move
By wonder and by prodigie:
To the fierce angry world let's prove
There's a Religion in our Love.
For though we were design'd t'agree,
That Fate no liberty destroys,
But our Election is as free
As Angels, who with greedy choice
Are yet determin'd to their joys.
That Fate no liberty destroys,
But our Election is as free
As Angels, who with greedy choice
Are yet determin'd to their joys.
Our hearts are doubled by their loss,
Here mixture is addition grown,
We both difuse, and both ingross,
And we whose minds are so much one,
Never, yet ever are alone.
Here mixture is addition grown,
We both difuse, and both ingross,
And we whose minds are so much one,
Never, yet ever are alone.
We court our own captivity,
Then Thrones more great and innocent,
'Twere banishment to be set free,
When we wear fetters, whose intent
Not bondage is, but ornament.
Then Thrones more great and innocent,
'Twere banishment to be set free,
When we wear fetters, whose intent
Not bondage is, but ornament.
Divided joys are tedious found,
And griefs united easier grow,
We are our selves but by rebound,
And all our titles shuffl'd so,
Both Princes, and both Subjects too.
And griefs united easier grow,
We are our selves but by rebound,
And all our titles shuffl'd so,
Both Princes, and both Subjects too.
