To Lucy _&c._ To John Donne _&c._ _1650-69, in sheets added1650_. _See_ Text and Canon _&c._] [Illustration: JOHN DONNE From the engraving prefixed to the Poems in the Editions of 1635,1639, 1649, 1650, 1654] SONGS _AND_ SONETS. _The good-morrow._ I wonder by my troth, what thou, and IDid, till we lov'd? were we not wean'd till then?But suck'd on countrey pleasures, childishly?Or snorted we in the seaven sleepers den?T'was so; But this, all pleasures fancies bee. 5If ever any beauty I did see,Which I desir'd, and got, t'was but a dreame of thee. And now good morrow to our waking soules,Which watch not one another out of feare;For love, all love of other sights controules, 10And makes one little roome, an every where.Let sea-discoverers to new worlds have gone,Let Maps to other, worlds on worlds have showne,Let us possesse one world, each hath one, and is one. My face in thine eye, thine in mine appeares, 15And true plaine hearts doe in the faces rest,Where can we finde two better hemisphearesWithout sharpe North, without declining West?What ever dyes, was not mixt equally;If our two loves be one, or, thou and I 20Love so alike, that none doe slacken, none can die.
