Rhyme Scheme: AABCDAEFGHIDCJCKIILM NOPHIQIIRIR| I love thee Mary and thou lovest me | A |
| Our mutual flame is like th' affinity | A |
| That doth exist between two simple bodies | B |
| I am Potassium to thine Oxygen | C |
| 'Tis little that the holy marriage vow | D |
| Shall shortly make us one That unity | A |
| Is after all but metaphysical | E |
| Oh would that I my Mary were an acid | F |
| A living acid thou an alkali | G |
| Endow'd with human sense that brought together | H |
| We both might coalesce into one salt | I |
| One homogeneous crystal Oh that thou | D |
| Wert Carbon and myself were Hydrogen | C |
| We would unite to form olefiant gas | J |
| Or common coal or naphtha would to heaven | C |
| That I were Phosphorus and thou wert Lime | K |
| And we of Lime composed a Phosphuret | I |
| I'd be content to be Sulphuric Acid | I |
| So that thou might be Soda In that case | L |
| We should be Glauber's Salt Wert thou Magnesia | M |
| Instead we'd form the salt that's named from Epsom | N |
| Couldst thou Potassa be I Aqua fortis | O |
| Our happy union should that compound form | P |
| Nitrate of Potash otherwise Saltpetre | H |
| And thus our several natures sweetly blent | I |
| We'd live and love together until death | Q |
| Should decompose the fleshly tertium quid | I |
| Leaving our souls to all eternity | I |
| Amalgamated Sweet thy name is Briggs | R |
| And mine is Johnson Wherefore should not we | I |
| Agree to form a Johnsonate of Briggs | R |
