There are two births; the one when light ( ; – )
First strikes the new awaken’d sense; ( )
The other when two souls unite, ( – )
And we must count our life from thence: ( )
When you loved me and I loved you ( , )
The both of us were born anew ( ).
Love then to us new souls did give ( )
And in those souls did plant new powers; ( )
Since when another life we live, ( )
The breath we breathe is his*, not ours: ( – , )
Love makes those young whom age doth chill ( , ),
And whom he finds young keeps young still ( , , - ).
