An Expostulation with Love.
Thy Laws are most severe, Oh Winged Boy!
For us to love, and not enjoy:
What Reason is't we should this Pain abide?
If love we must, you might provide,
Either that our Affections we restrain,
From her we're sure to love in vain:
For us to love, and not enjoy:
What Reason is't we should this Pain abide?
If love we must, you might provide,
Either that our Affections we restrain,
From her we're sure to love in vain:
Or after our Desires so Guide our Feet,
That where we love, we may an equal Passion meet.
That where we love, we may an equal Passion meet.
