[Love, with his Darts does ev'ry Mortal wound]
Love, with his Darts does ev'ry Mortal wound,
And as he's the most powerful of Kings,
That on Earth, in Sea, or in Heav'n is found,
By various Means all in Subjection brings:
Thus 'tis that he, to aggravate the Pains,
Of those who insolent his Pow'r deride,
Makes them of worthless Objects wear the Chains,
And tremble at that God they once defy'd.
