To my Excellent Lucasia, on our Friendship Lyrics by Katherine Philips

0

I did not live until this time
Crown'd my felicity
When I could say without a crime
I am not thine, but Thee
This Carcass breath'd, and walkt, and slept
So that the World believ'd
There was a Soul the Motions kept;
But they were all deceiv'd
For as a Watch by art is wound
To motion, such was mine:
But never had Orinda found
A Soul till she found thine;
Which now inspires, cures and supplies
And guides my darkned Breast:
For thou art all that I can prize
My Joy, my Life, my Rest
No Bridegrooms nor Crown-conquerors mirth
To mine compar'd can be
They have but pieces of this Earth
I've all the World in thee
Then let our Flames still light and shine
And no false fear controul
As innocent as our Design
Immortal as our Soul
