On Love

—Lyrics by Robert Herrick (1591-1674)—

(see octavo CQ2715-4)


Love bade me ask a gift,
And I no more did move,
But this, that I might shift,
Still with my clothes, my Love.

That favour granted was,
Since which, though I love many,
Yet so it comes to pass
That long I love, I love not any.
