Phoenix and the Turtle

Shakespeare

From this session interdict
Every fowl of tyrant wing,
Save the eagle, feather'd king:
Keep the obsequy so strict.

Phoenix and the Turtle

Had the essence but in one;
Two distincts, division none:
Number there in love was slain.

Phoenix and the Turtle

That the turtle saw his right
Flaming in the phoenix' sight;
Either was the other's mine.

Phoenix and the Turtle

Shakespeare

Saw division grow together,
To themselves yet either neither,
Simple were so well compounded,

That it cried, How true a twain
Seemeth this concordant one!
Love hath reason, reason none,
If what parts can so remain.
