I.

WHO joys in love? The Heart alone, to see.

Who languisheth in love? The Heart alone.

Then is 't a thing impossible for me

To joy or languish: since I Heart have none.

Withouten Heart! Then tell me, What am I?

Even bones and flesh united cunningly.

The Soul, where is 't? Love that hath ta'en away:

My Body only resteth in his place.

Deprived of Soul and Heart, how live? I say,

I live, maintained by love, in this strange case.

O wonder strange, the Body live to see;

The Heart and Soul in other place to be.

_Napoli_.
