Friendship's mystery. To my dearest Lucasia
Come, my Lucasia, since we see
That miracles men's faith do move,
By wonder and by prodigy
To the dull angry world let's prove
There's a religion in our love.
For though we were designed t' agree,
That fate no liberty destroys,
But our election is as free
As angels', who with greedy choice
Are yet determined to their joys. 10
Our hearts are doubled by the loss,
Here mixture is addition grown ;
We both diffuse and both engross,
And we whose minds are so much one,
Never, yet ever, are alone.
We court our own captivity,
Than thrones more great and innocent ;
`Twere banishment to be set free,
Since we wear fetters whose intent
Not bondage is, but ornament. 20
Divided joys are tedious found,
And griefs united easier grow ;
We are ourselves but by rebound,
And all our titles shuffled so,
Both princes, and both subjects too.
Our hearts are mutual victims laid,
While they, such power in friendship lies,
Are altars, priests, and off'rings made ;
And each heart which thus kindly dies
Grows deathless by the sacrifice. 30

幹，我們上課在教這首詩的時候。
我默默覺得，這豈不就是我和妳嗎。

L'Amitie: To Mrs. M. Awbrey.

| | Soule of my soule! my Joy, my crown, my friend!
A name which all the rest doth comprehend;
How happy are we now, whose sols are grown,
By an incomparable mixture, One:
Whose well acquainted minds are not as neare
As Love, or vows, or secrets can endeare.
I have no thought but what's to thee reveal'd,
Nor thou desire that is from me conceal'd.
Thy heart locks up my secrets richly set,
And my breast is thy private cabinet.
Thou shedst no teare but what but what my moisture lent,
And if I sigh, it is thy breath is spent.
United thus, what horrour can appeare
Worthy our sorrow, anger, or our feare?
Let the dull world alone to talk and fight
And with their vast ambitions nature fright;
Let them despise so innocent a flame,
While Envy, pride, and faction play their game:
But we by Love sublim'd so high shall rise,
To pitty Kings, and Conquerours despise,
Since we that sacred union have engrost,
Which they and all the sullen world have lost.

不久前跟妳講道唯一可能一輩子的好朋友只有老公時，
妳一開始說怎麼不是妳，聽完我講完後妳沉默了一會，
答道 ，“對欸...我們不會結婚欸。”
在那一時，妳終於也意識到了我們友誼的有限性。
對了。
但外面世界如此險惡，
我們的世界還是如此的嘻嘻哈哈。
這個可不可以不要改變？
我們的友情好像迷幻藥。
戒掉妳的那一個禮拜讓我都忘了不能抽煙的煩悶。
我要去辦事，妳試圖留住我但我真的得去辦。
“妳回來我就不會在這邊了！”妳這樣說。
“我知道啊。但我還是得走。”我回道。
但我回來後妳的東西仍然原地不動，妳同一群人去買午餐了。
妳居然偷偷把午餐放好在我另一間教室的桌上才來找我聊天，
我和妳分別後，還想說誰把食物丟在我桌上。
“這你的嗎？”
“是xxx放在妳桌上的。”
我怔了一下，
昨晚，妳傳簡訊來時順道附上
“我明天要叫XX起床，要不要順便叫妳？
但妳有可靠的OOO會叫妳...”
因為妳知道我第一節要考期中考。
還滿想接一接妳的morning call的但想想還是算了。
因為我真的有另一位我很珍惜的朋友會打來叫我。
“竟然只是順便叫我啊。不用了!!”
“拜託我要叫她起來是被迫的妳如果有聽到我們的對話就會知道了!!
好啊不要就算了反正妳朋友那麼多。晚安!!”
我一笑置之，心裡說了聲晚安。
隔天早上，我還是很獨立的自己醒過來了哈哈哈。
兩分鐘後...一通電話打來。
拿起來以為顯示的會是另一位的名字。想不到不是。
妳竟然還是打來了。
居然還問我要不要幫買早餐。
然後另一位就插撥進來了。XD
早晨第一個聽到的是令人安心的聲音真不錯。
雖然另一位的聲音其實也令我安心。
有時會懷疑我們之間這樣到底是什麼樣的友誼？
哈哈哈，很好的友誼。
快樂就好。
而每次我們發生人生中不可思議的衰事時，
都有彼此在身邊接風的感覺真好。
大部份時候我一個人都活得很好。
但如果那些時候沒有妳，我大概會很悲慘吧。
