SONNET: THE DOUBLE ROCK
Since thou hast viewed 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 love's chemistry ne'er saw.
Therefore by thinking on thy hardness, I
Will petrify;
And so within our double quarry's womb
Dig our love's tomb.
Thus strangely will our difference agree,
And, with ourselves, amaze the world, to see
How both revenge and sympathy consent
To make two rocks each other's monument.
– Henry King (1657)
