3 The Grave is never satisfy'd, No more, alas, can he Who having tasted of thy Love, Till he enjoyeth thee.
4 But Death destroys and also kills, But Love doth make alive; It kills our sin, and we thereby Do presently revive:
5 But if the Object be denied The Heart is set upon, We never can be satisfied Until our life is gone.
5 But if the Object be deny'd The Heart is set upon, We never can be satisfy'd Until our life is gone.
6 Love so doth flame, and Jealousy So burns the Heart and Eyes; The Soul must be embraced by thee, Or be Love's Sacrifice.
6 Love so doth flame, and Jealousie So burns the Heart and Eyes; The Soul must be embrac'd by thee, Or be Love's Sacrifice.
