Metaphor in Context
Upon thine heart let me be put,
and set like as a seal;
And as a seal upon thine arme,
thus do thou with me deal;
For love is strong as death, as grave,
cruel as jealousie.
The coals thereof are coals of fire,
which flame most vehemently.
and set like as a seal;
And as a seal upon thine arme,
thus do thou with me deal;
For love is strong as death, as grave,
cruel as jealousie.
The coals thereof are coals of fire,
which flame most vehemently.
