| 3 | Love built on beauty, soon as beauty, dies. | Love |

| 7 | Our two souls, therefore, which are one, Though I must go, endure not yet A breach, but an expansion, Like gold to airy thinness beat. If they be two, they are two so As stiff twin compasses are two; Thy soul, the fixt foot, makes no show To move, but doth if the other do. And though it in the centre sit, Yet when the other far doth roam, It leans and hearkens after it, And grows erect, as that comes home. Such wilt thou be to me, who must, Like the other foot, obliquely run. Thy firmness makes my circle just, And makes me end where I begun. | Love |
| 8 | He was the Word, that spake it; He took the bread and brake it; And what that Word did make it, I do believe and take it. | Jesus Christ |
| 9 | Who are a little wise the best fools be. | Fool |
