The poets feign that when the world began

The poets feign that when the world began,
Both sexes in one body did remain;
Till Love, offended with this double man,
Caused Vulcan to divide him into twain.
In this division he the heart did sever;
But cunningly he did indent the heart,
That if there were a reuniting ever,
Each part might know which was his counterpart.
See then, dear love, th' indenture of my heart,
And read the cov'nants writ with holy fire;
See if your heart be not the counterpart
Of my true heart's indented chaste desire.
And if it be, so may it ever be,
Two hearts in one, 'twixt you, my love, and me.
