IIII.

Come forth, come forth, and as one glorious flame

Meeting Another, growes the same,

So meet thy Fredericke, and so 45

To an unseparable union growe.

Since separation

Falls not on such things as are infinite,

Nor things which are but one, can disunite,

You'are twice inseparable, great, and one; 50

Goe then to where the Bishop staies,

To make you one, his way, which divers waies

Must be effected; and when all is past,

And that you'are one, by hearts and hands made fast,

You two have one way left, your selves to'entwine, 55

Besides this Bishops knot, or Bishop Valentine.
