[00:00:00] A Dialogue Between The Soul And Body - Phil Shoenfelt

[00:00:03] Written by：Marvell/Phil Shoenfelt/Shoenfelt

[00:00:16] O who shall from this dungeon raise

[00:00:20] A soul enslav'd so many ways

[00:00:24] With bolts of bones that fetter'd stands

[00:00:28] In feet and manacled in hands

[00:00:32] Here blinded with an eye and there

[00:00:36] Deaf with the drumming of an ear

[00:00:40] A soul hung up as 'twere in chains

[00:00:44] Of nerves and arteries and veins

[00:00:49] Tortur'd besides each other part

[00:00:53] In a vain head and double heart

[00:01:11] O who shall me deliver whole

[00:01:15] From bonds of this tyrannic soul

[00:01:19] Which stretch'd upright impales me so

[00:01:23] That mine own precipice I go

[00:01:27] And warms and moves this needless frame

[00:01:31] A fever could but do the same

[00:01:35] And wanting where it's spite to try

[00:01:39] Has made me live to let me die

[00:01:44] A body that could never rest

[00:01:48] Since this ill spirit it possest

[00:02:06] What magic could me thus confine

[00:02:10] Within another's grief to pine

[00:02:14] Where whatsoever it complain

[00:02:18] I feel that cannot feel the pain

[00:02:22] And all my care itself employs

[00:02:26] That to preserve which me destroys

[00:02:30] Constrain'd not only to endure

[00:02:34] Diseases but what's worse the cure

[00:02:39] And ready oft the port to gain

[00:02:43] Am shipwreck'd into health again

[00:03:01] But physic yet could never reach

[00:03:05] The maladies thou me dost teach

[00:03:09] Whom first the cramp of hope does tear

[00:03:13] And then the palsy shakes of fear

[00:03:17] The pestilence of love does heat

[00:03:21] Or hatred's hidden ulcer eat

[00:03:25] Joy's cheerful madness does perplex

[00:03:29] Or sorrow's other madness vex

[00:03:33] Which knowledge forces me to know

[00:03:38] And memory will not forego

[00:03:42] What but a soul could have the wit

[00:03:46] To build me up for sin so fit

[00:03:50] So architects do square and hew

[00:03:54] Green trees that in the forest grew
