UPON LOVE (4), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love's a thing, (as I do heare)
Last Line: Is to love, and live I'th fire.
Subject(s): Love


Love's a thing, (as I do heare)
Ever full of pensive feare;
Rather then to which I'le fall,
Trust me, I'le not like at all:
If to love I should entend,
Let my haire then stand an end:
And that terrour likewise prove,
Fatall to me in my love.
But if horrour cannot slake
Flames, which wo'd an entrance make;
Then the next thing I desire,
Is to love, and live i'th fire.
