Of Love and Liking.
To like or not to like, doth lie
In the election of a curious eie:
But should I only what I see approve,
This were but liking and not love.
In the election of a curious eie:
But should I only what I see approve,
This were but liking and not love.
Or t'would be general, as Boys
At the first sight long for their glorious toys,
Which they embrace til fresh varietie
Shews fairer objects to the eie.
At the first sight long for their glorious toys,
Which they embrace til fresh varietie
Shews fairer objects to the eie.
Go Muse! and let my Stella know
I like her person wel: but tel her too!
I love her soul with mine, and thus I find
When out of sight she's in my mind.
I like her person wel: but tel her too!
I love her soul with mine, and thus I find
When out of sight she's in my mind.
