The Relic

When my grave is broke up again    Some second guest to entertain,    (For graves have learn'd that woman head,    To be to more than one a bed)        And he that digs it, spiesA bracelet of bright hair about the bone,        Will he not let'us alone,

And think that there a loving couple lies,

Who thought that this device might be some

To make their souls, at the last busy day,

Meet at this grave, and make a little stay?    If this fall in a time, or land,    Where mis-devotion doth command,    Then he, that digs us up, will bring    Us to the bishop, and the king,        To make us relics;

Thou shalt be a Mary Magdalen, and I        A something else thereby;

All women shall adore us, and some men;

And since at such time miracles are sought,

I would have that age by this paper

What miracles we harmless lovers wrought.    First, we lov'd well and faithfully,    Yet knew not what we lov'd, nor why;    Difference of sex no more we knew    Than our guardian angels do;        Coming and going,

Perchance might kiss, but not between those meals;        Our hands ne'er touch'd the

Which nature, injur'd by late law, sets free;

These miracles we did, but now alas,

All measure, and all language,

I should pass,

Should I tell what a miracle she was.
