This sweet consent
In equal bands tie
The nature of each element,
So that moist yields into dry.

The piercing cold(s),
With flames friendship heaps
The trembling fire highest place holds,
And the Gross Earth sinks into the  Deeps.

I will quote B.thee.us/Boethius, which is not (u.n.)like Pope’s ‘essay on man’:
“If you would see
God’s Laws with Purest Mind,
Your sight on Heaven might be,
Whose settled course the stars peace b(l)ind;
The Sun’s Bright Fire
Stops not his Sister’s Team,
Nor does the Northern Bear desire
Within the ocean’s wave to/2 hide his/her beam.”

Your ‘sum-mation’, plain, to avoid ‘con-fusion’:
We came, in the end, to a ‘natural conclusion’.

Pretending to be ‘happily holiday-making’,
We swim together in calm, cooling seas,
(&) lie on bead-gravel(led) beaches, kissing;
Share(ing) lives, a towel, iced teas/teaZe(d).

Heritage ire/is-land.
Under the blood-red Aegean Sun,
Ripples lap shingle(s)
