Now to God only wise, the revealer of these hidden Mysteries, be praisefrom all his Creatures for ever.Of Separation the Gate must thus be won.Thus I have run through this Gate of Separation, which might be enough,for it is all; but because the Wise men have made many Operations for tohide the secret, and have scattered their notions here and there in everyGate or Operations, sometimes being at the beginning, sometimes at theend, thereby to puzzle the unwary; I must to make this Treatise intire, runthrough the rest with what brevity and plainness can.I shall now sing a pleasant Elegy,What did betwixt two LoversFall out, seek the reason why,This Song discovers;A WifeDid lose her life,Because she did her Husband revive,Whose death did enforceThe man to remorse,To see her dead who gave him life.Hw was a King, yet dead as dead could be,His Sister a Queen,Who when her Brother, she did breathless see,The like was never seen;She cryesUntil her eyesWith over-weeping were waxed dim,So long till her tearsReach’d up to her ears,The Queen sunk, but the King did swim.These Waters with the Fire which prevail’dDid him so perplex,That starting up, not knowing what him ail’dHe sorely did vex;He thoughThat there was wroughtSome Treason, but full little did knowThat it was a QueenHim sav’d though unseen,And dy’d her self sad white I trow.128
