In The Nursery

Mecciano
Lyricist:Humberstone Clive Lionel, Humberstone Nigel William
As virtuous men pass mildly away And whisper to their souls, to go Whilst some of their sad friends do say The breath goes now and some say, no
So let us melt and make no noise No tear floods nor sigh tempests move 'Twere profanation of our joys To tell the laity our love
Moving of th'earth brings harms and fears Men reckon what it did and meant But trepidation of the spheres Though greater far is innocent
Dull sublunary lovers' love (Whole soul is sense) Cannot admit absence Because it doth remove Those things which elemented it
But we by a love, so much refined That our selves know not what it is Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Inter assured of the mind Care less, eyes, lips and hands to miss
Our two souls therefore, which are one Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but expansion Like gold to very thinnest beat
If they be two, they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two Thy soul the fixed foot, makes no show To move but doth, if th'other do
And though it in the center sit Yet when the other far doth roam It leans and harkens after it And grows erect, as that comes home
Such wilt thou be to me, who must Like th'other foot, obliquely run Thy firmness makes my circle just And makes me end, where I began
