Then yellow, mixt with blue; the fumes ascended,Which bore the Soul on high,Which when the Lady saw, here tears were ended,She fainted by and by.Into the same Stream she did swooning drop,And never more appear’d;She lov’d her Husband so, she would not stop,Like one of death afear’d,And straightway she of vital breath depriv’d,Was of a Lady fairA Carcass made, thus both in love who liv’d,Alike in death did share.Their Souls disjoined from their Bodies hov’ringUpon the Fountain plaid,Expecting if their Carcasses recovering,Might have their lives repaid.The Sun in Solstice stood, whose heat did dryThe Waters more and more;And eke beneath a Central heat did fry,And sent up vapours store.Which still returned, so long till they were chang’dThe greater part to dust;The wandring Souls which long had been estrang’d,Were now allur’d with lustOf their own Bodies, in whose Atoms layA strange Magnetick force;They also though long banish’d, day by dayAwaited the dead Coarse.For Souls united were Bodies combin’d,And both to each ally’dSo nearly, that no sooner they can findA way, but they are ty’dWith knot inviolable, that no power,How strong it may appear,Can part them any more, even from the hourThey thus united were.147
