And in a sphere to hold you where one is

And is no more (I picture such a heaven

As latest breath with latest breath immingled),

Ah, that were worth the self-dealt death, ’twould be

Beyond the grave, that home where horror dwells,

To find still one more rapture. Mariamne,

Dare I hope such a thing, or must fear take me

That you would—Antony has asked of you!

Mar.
