UPON LOVE (8), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: In a dreame, love bad me go
Last Line: And warn'd before, wo'd not beware.
Subject(s): Love


In a Dreame, Love bad me go
To the Gallies there to Rowe;
In the Vision I askt, why?
Love as briefly did reply;
'Twas better there to toyle, then prove
The turmoiles they endure that love.
I awoke, and then I knew
What Love said was too too true:
Henceforth therefore I will be
As from Love, from trouble free.
None pities him that's in the snare,
And warn'd before, wo'd not beware.
