- THE LADY'S SECOND SONG
-
- WHAT sort of man is coming
- To lie between your feet?
- What matter, we are but women.
- Wash; make your body sweet;
- I have cupboards of dried fragrance.
- I can strew the sheet.
- i{The Lord have mercy upon us.}
-
- He shall love my soul as though
- Body were not at all,
- He shall love your body
- Untroubled by the soul,
- Love cram love's two divisions
- Yet keep his substance whole.
- i{The Lord have mercy upon us.}
-
- Soul must learn a love that is
- proper to my breast,
- Limbs a Love in common
- With every noble beast.
- If soul may look and body touch,
- Which is the more blest?
- i{The Lord have mercy upon us.}
