Drown'd the whole world, us two; oft did we grow
To be two Chaosses, when we did show
Care to ought else; and often absences
Withdrew our soules, and made us carcasses.
But I am by her death, (which word wrongs her)
Of the first nothing, the Elixer growne;
Were I a man, that I were one,
I needs must know; I should preferre,
If I were any Beast,
Some ends, some means; Yea plants, yea stones detest,
And love, all, all some properties invest.
If I an ordinary nothing were,
As shadow, a light, and body must be here.
But I am None; nor will my Sunne renew.
You lovers, for whose sake, the lesser Sunne
At this time to the Goat is runne
To fetch new lust, and give it you,
Enjoy your Summer all,
Since she enjoyes her long nights festivall,
Let me prepare towards her, and let me call
This houre her Vigill, and her eve, since this
Both the yeares, and the dayes deepe midnight is.
Witchcraft by a picture.
I fixe mine eye on thine, and there
Pitty my picture burning in thine eye,

[CW: My]
