Phoenix and the Turtle

Let the priest in surplice white,
That defunctive music can,
Be the death-divining swan,
Lest the requiem lack his right.

Here the anthem doth commence:
Love and constancy is dead;
Phoenix and the turtle fled
In a mutual flame from hence.

Phoenix and the Turtle

So they loved, as love in twain
Had the essence but in one;
Two distincts, division none:
Number there in love was slain.

Distance, and no space was seen
'Twixt the turtle and his queen:
But in them it were a wonder.

So between them love did shine,
That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight;
Either was the other's mine.

Saw division grow together,
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded,

Beauty, truth, and rarity,
Grace in all simplicity,
Here enclosed in cinders lie.
