Love's Fluide Soles

When happily Wee mett, all did admire
To see our fluid Soles turn'd all to fier,
Whose sublim'd suttle motion none did doubt,
Feeding one another, could not goe out.
Minglinge our selves thus, still must be the same,
Each living still Eternally in flame;
But, parted, gross thick melancholy Vapors
Extinguisht light, putt out our loving Tapers;
And where before two sunns when wee wer mett,
Disjoyn'd, turn'd now Each to a dull Planett.
In whirlepooles moving to meet; if so, then
Love will inflame Us both to sunnes agen.
