A Dialogue Between The Soul And Body - Phil Shoenfelt[00:00:00]
Written by:Marvell/Phil Shoenfelt/Shoenfelt[00:00:03]
O who shall from this dungeon raise[00:00:16]
A soul enslav'd so many ways[00:00:20]
With bolts of bones that fetter'd stands[00:00:24]
In feet and manacled in hands[00:00:28]
Here blinded with an eye and there[00:00:32]
Deaf with the drumming of an ear[00:00:36]
A soul hung up as 'twere in chains[00:00:40]
Of nerves and arteries and veins[00:00:44]
Tortur'd besides each other part[00:00:49]
In a vain head and double heart[00:00:53]
O who shall me deliver whole[00:01:11]
From bonds of this tyrannic soul[00:01:15]
Which stretch'd upright impales me so[00:01:19]
That mine own precipice I go[00:01:23]
And warms and moves this needless frame[00:01:27]
A fever could but do the same[00:01:31]
And wanting where it's spite to try[00:01:35]
Has made me live to let me die[00:01:39]
A body that could never rest[00:01:44]
Since this ill spirit it possest[00:01:48]
What magic could me thus confine[00:02:06]
Within another's grief to pine[00:02:10]
Where whatsoever it complain[00:02:14]
I feel that cannot feel the pain[00:02:18]
And all my care itself employs[00:02:22]
That to preserve which me destroys[00:02:26]
Constrain'd not only to endure[00:02:30]
Diseases but what's worse the cure[00:02:34]
And ready oft the port to gain[00:02:39]
Am shipwreck'd into health again[00:02:43]
But physic yet could never reach[00:03:01]
The maladies thou me dost teach[00:03:05]
Whom first the cramp of hope does tear[00:03:09]
And then the palsy shakes of fear[00:03:13]
The pestilence of love does heat[00:03:17]
Or hatred's hidden ulcer eat[00:03:21]
Joy's cheerful madness does perplex[00:03:25]
Or sorrow's other madness vex[00:03:29]
Which knowledge forces me to know[00:03:33]
And memory will not forego[00:03:38]
What but a soul could have the wit[00:03:42]
To build me up for sin so fit[00:03:46]
So architects do square and hew[00:03:50]
Green trees that in the forest grew[00:03:54]
