SONNET. The Double Rock

Since thou hast view'd some Gorgon, and art grown 
A solid stone: 
To bring again to softness thy hard heart 
Is past my art. 
Ice may relent to water in a thaw; 
But stone made flesh Loves Chymistry ne're saw. 
Therefore by thinking on thy hardness, I 
Will petrify; 
And so within our double Quarryes Wombe, 
Dig our Loves Tombe. 
Thus strangely will our difference agree; 
And, with our selves, amaze the world, to see 
How both Revenge and Sympathy consent 
To make two Rocks each others Monument.
