1. I WONDER by my troth, what thou and I
2. Did, till we loved? were we not wean'd till then?
3. But suck'd on country pleasures, childishly?
4. Or snorted we in the Seven Sleepers' den?
5. 'Twas so; but this, all pleasures fancies be;
6. If ever any beauty I did see,
7. Which I desired, and got, 'twas but a dream of thee.
8. And now good-morrow to our waking souls,
9. Which watch not one another out of fear;
10. For love all love of other sights controls,
11. And makes one little room an everywhere.
12. Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone;
13. Let maps to other, worlds on worlds have shown;
14. Let us possess one world; each hath one, and is one.
15. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appears,
16. And true plain hearts do in the faces rest;
17. Where can we find two better hemispheres
18. Without sharp north, without declining west?
19. Whatever dies, was not mix'd equally;
20. If our two loves be one, or thou and I
21. Love so alike that none can slacken, none can die.
