William Davenant (Уильям Давенант) Song (Endimion Porter, and Olivia) Olivia. BEFORE we shall again behold In his diurnal race the Worlds great Eye, We may as silent be and cold, As are the shades where buried Lovers ly. Endimion. Olivia 'tis no fault of Love To loose our selves in death, but O, I fear, When Life and Knowledge is above Restor'd to us, I shall not know thee there. Olivia. Call it not Heaven (my Love) where we Our selves shall see, and yet each other miss: So much of Heaven I find in thee As, thou unknown, all else privation is. Endimion. Why should we doubt, before we go To find the Knowledge which shall ever last, That we may there each other know? Can future Knowledge quite destroy the past? Olivia. When at the Bowers in the Elizian shade I first arrive, I shall examine where They dwel, who love the highest Vertue made? For I am sure to find Endimion there. Endimion. From this vext World when we shall both retire, Where all are Lovers, and where all rejoyce; I need not seek thee in the Heavenly Quire; For I shall know Olivia by her Voice.
