lirik lagu richard burton - the extasie

where, like a pillow on a bed
a pregnant bank swell’d up to rest
the violet’s reclining head
sat we two, one another’s best
our hands were firmly cemented
with a fast balm, which thence did spring;
our eye~beams twisted, and did thread
our eyes upon one double string;
so to’intergraft our hands, as yet
was all the means to make us one
and pictures in our eyes to get
was all our propagation
as ‘twixt two equal armies fate
suspends uncertain victory
our souls (which to advance their state
were gone out) hung ‘twixt her and me
and whilst our souls negotiate there
we like sepulchral statues lay;
all day, the same our postures were
and we said nothing, all the day
if any, so by love refin’d
that he soul’s language understood
and by good love were grown all mind
within convenient distance stood
he (though he knew not which soul spake
because both meant, both spake the same)
might thence a new concoction take
and part far purer than he came
this ecstasy doth unperplex
we said, and tell us what we love;
we see by this it was not s~x
we see we saw not what did move;
but as all several souls contain
mixture of things, they know not what
love these mix’d souls doth mix again
and makes both one, each this and that
a single violet transplant
the strength, the colour, and the size
(all which before was poor and scant)
redoubles still, and multiplies
when love with one another so
interinanimates two souls
that abler soul, which thence doth flow
defects of loneliness controls
we then, who are this new soul, know
of what we are compos’d and made
for th’ atomies of which we grow
are souls, whom no change can invade
but oh alas, so long, so far
our bodies why do we forbear?
they’are ours, though they’are not we; we are
the intelligences, they the spheres
we owe them thanks, because they thus
did us, to us, at first convey
yielded their senses’ force to us
nor are dross to us, but allay
on man heaven’s influence works not so
but that it first imprints the air;
so soul into the soul may flow
though it to body first repair
as our blood labors to beget
spirits, as like souls as it can
because such fingers need to knit
that subtle knot which makes us man
so must pure lovers’ souls descend
t’ affections, and to faculties
which sense may reach and apprehend
else a great prince in prison lies
to’our bodies turn we then, that so
weak men on love reveal’d may look;
love’s mysteries in souls do grow
but yet the body is his book
and if some lover, such as we
have heard this dialogue of one
let him still mark us, he shall see
small change, when we’are to bodies gone
