OF THE THEME OF LOVE by MARGARET LUCAS CAVENDISH

First Line: O LOVE, HOW THOU ART TIRED OUT WITH RHYME
Last Line: THAT THEY CAN HARDLY GATHER ONE PLUM MORE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
O Love, how thou art tired out with rhyme!
Thou art a tree whereon all poets climb;
And from thy branches every one takes some
Of thy sweet fruit, which Fancy feeds upon.
But now thy tree is left so bare and poor,
That they can hardly gather one plum more.
