The whole work of Love OR A NEW POEM On a Young Lady who is violently in Love with a Gentleman of LINCOLNS-INN By a Student in the said ART LOVE is a thing that 's not on Reason laid But upon Nature and her Dictates made Fancy I mean for that prescribes the way For Love at last to make her Holly-Day Our thoughts like Winds that vary every Hour When blowing on a Thatcht-house or a Tower Which is the Case of this our Lady then Sometimes she 's high and then she 's still agen At last Love is taken by its own Hook Like a Sea-nimph near to a purling Brook Changing its Waters and its Element Gay Love it discovers all to go to Play And then Circkling about his belov'd Arms And that for ever on Loves Immortal Charms And goes into the Chamber of th' Marriage Bed There to take Pleasure and lay down its Head Love like a Souldier coming to the Field At length is Conquerr'd and is forc'd to yield Since every thing does unto a Center tend The result of Nature and of Friendships end Love is a God! and does what it pleases It Cures Wounds and when it will us eases The Master Spring of each humane desire Love is an Angel of the Angelick Quire But now it seemeth and that at the last Love like a Sea-man does his Anchor cast Resolving in Port for to Wash and Tallow Let the Seas be Green Dark Blew or Yellow ●or she it seems if any means be left Turns Pirate and so commits a Theft Love him she will or else this Life depart Love is a thing beyond the Power of Art It is as strong as Death we all do know It is a thing that still doth cure our woe Were 't not for this 't would be no joy to Live And in the World and that for to survive The Powers above on us this gift does throw That so all Pleasures we may fully know Having tasted that we Epicures may turn And so for ever in Loves fire to burn For of all Annimals Lovers are most blest Since that 's the Life of humane happiness Without that each Person 's like to a Rat And has no Pleasure except that of the Cat. For Love's a thing distinguishes us from Beasts It raises Honour and our Vitals Feasts Plants us in the form of Virtuosoes great And so doth Crown our frail and fickle State Therefore at last Love now has fixt its Eye Upon a Gentleman of much Gallantry Like to the Eagle resolving for a Prey Takes up the Kite and marches quite away And when that all her wild measures has sown Love is resolv'd to make the Town her own Have him she will and Marry him at last Love shuts the Door and then besure all 's fast To summ up all our Gentleman doth say He Loves not Bog-wiggs and that on any Lay That his Mistris most fine such things should wear As the Tree does Fruit in Summer of the Year He is a Man for Nature only so And in her Paths with her would run and go Would not have her each thing from Art exchane For all things but Nature are to him most strange So if Love will have it a Marriage to be We 'l all come see the Ivy and Oak Tree Twineing together by Natures Commands The thing is done and the World claps Hands FINIS London Printed by T.
