And in spiritual love we find the like expression of the Spouse; Stay me with flagons, comfort 1me with apples, for I am sick of love: Wine to exhilarate, apples to refresh those Spirits, which were, as it were, melted away, and wasted by an extreme out-let of Love. And for this reason the Object of our Love is said to Overcome us, and to Burn the Heart, as with Coals of Jumper; and2 the like expressions of wounding and burning the Poet useth.
