Subject(s): Love - Nature Of


"Would you taste the sweets of love,
Ever change and ever rove,
Fly at pleasure, and away;
Love's the cup of bliss and woe,
Nectar if you taste and go,
Poison if you stay.

Would you taste the sweets of love,
Never change and never rove,
Fly from pleasures that betray;
Love's the cup of bliss and woe,
Poison if you taste and go,
Nectar if you stay."
