Living together under the same roof,
And never can be sundered without tears.
And he that shuts Love out, in turn shall be
Shut out from Love, and on her threshold lie
Howling in outer darkness. Not for this
Was common clay ta'en from the common earth,
Moulded by God, and tempered with the tears
Of angels to the perfect shape of man.

I.
I built my soul a lordly pleasurehouse,
Wherein at ease for aye to dwell.
I said, "Oh Soul, make merry and carouse,
Dear Soul, for all is well.
