NAY, Master Shakespeare, marriage of true minds
Hath great impediment: the earth tugs hard
At their impassioned clay; their being winds
In aberrations, as it were but shard
Of spent-out star. They move tradition-set,
By pleasure and its dear delusions marred,
Each drawing each aside, and both forget
The pace and path their spirits' mighty sun
Ordaineth, holding them in peerless debt.
Nor is their mean of perfect marriage run,
Till time hath somewhat loosed material tether;
Then each doth find, -- for spirit life is won, --
Completest self in two right lives together.
