Love's Sunne
Oh, can we love and live? praye, lett Us die
If liveing can not meete; I'l tell you why:
When dead we may both of Us turne to Ayre,
So meete in Higher regions that is faire,
Thus have a Calme; or turn'd to waters sweete,
Postinge downe Rivers, in the Sea to meete;
Or Else, our subtle Motions Ayre, mount hier,
Our heated love Inflame Us to one fier,
And there we'er Joyn'd: one Sunne, your love and mine,
On Mortall Lovers here Ever to Shyne.
