ODE XLVI.
['Tis a pain to know not Love]
'Tis a pain to know not Love,
And 'tis a pain the boy to prove,
But, sure, the greatest pain of all,
In loving from our hope to fall.
And 'tis a pain the boy to prove,
But, sure, the greatest pain of all,
In loving from our hope to fall.
Birth is nothing now to love,
Nor wisdom can more happy prove,
Nor manners: what then rules it here?
Silver to their eyes is dear.
Nor wisdom can more happy prove,
Nor manners: what then rules it here?
Silver to their eyes is dear.
May he die, the first of all,
Who first did Silver beauteous call:
'Tis by this no brother lives,
By this no parent now survives:
Wars, and slaughter come from this;
And, what is worse, from all our bliss,
We, that love, now fall by this.
Who first did Silver beauteous call:
'Tis by this no brother lives,
By this no parent now survives:
Wars, and slaughter come from this;
And, what is worse, from all our bliss,
We, that love, now fall by this.
