First Line: He or she that hopes to gain

Subject(s): Love - Nature Of
HE or she that hopes to gain
Love's best sweet without some pain,
Hopes in vain.
Cupid's livery no one wears
But must put on hopes and fears,
Smiles and tears.
And, like to April weather,
Rain and shine both together,
Both or neither.
