richard burton - the relique lyrics

when my grave is broke up again
some second guest to entertain
(for graves have learn’d that woman head
to be to more than one a bed)
and he that digs it, spies
a bracelet of bright hair about the bone
will he not let’us alone
and think that there a loving couple lies
who thought that this device might be some way
to make their souls, at the last busy day
meet at this grave, and make a little stay?

if this fall in a time, or land
where mis+devotion doth command
then he, that digs us up, will bring
us to the bishop, and the king
to make us relics; then
thou shalt be a mary magdalen, and i
a something else thereby;
all women shall adore us, and some men;
and since at such time miracles are sought
i would have that age by this paper taught
what miracles we harmless lovers wrought

first, we lov’d well and faithfully
yet knew not what we lov’d, nor why;
difference of s+x no more we knew
than our guardian angels do;
coming and going, we
perchance might kiss, but not between those meals;
our hands ne’er touch’d the seals
which nature, injur’d by late law, sets free;
these miracles we did, but now alas
all measure, and all language, i should pass
should i tell what a miracle she was
