Answer
# Brief Explanations:
In the poem "The Flea" by John Donne, the lines that suggest the physical union of lovers are those that describe the mingling of their blood within the flea. The flea has sucked the blood of both lovers, symbolically uniting them. The lines "And in this flea our two bloods mingled be" and "And pampered swells with one blood made of two" use the flea - a small creature - as a metaphor for the union of the lovers.
# Answer:
And in this flea our two bloods mingled be;
