THE HAPPY LOVER, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Hark lovers, hark, and I shall tell
Last Line: The man belov'd? 'tis happy I am he.
Subject(s): Love


HARK Lovers, hark, and I shall tell
A wonder that will please you well;
She, whom I lov'd as my own heart,
For whom I sigh'd and suffer'd smart;
Whom I above the world admir'd:
When I approach'd, who still retir'd:
Was so reserv'd, but yet so fair,
An angel to what others are:
Herself from Love escapes not free.
The man belov'd? 'Tis happy I am He.
