EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 6. FAIR AND SOFTLY by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: THE YOKE UNEASY ON THE OX DOTH SIT
Last Line: AND GLADLY DRUDGE AT THE ACCUSTOM'D PLOUGH.
Subject(s): LOVE;
THE yoke uneasy on the ox doth sit
Till by degrees his stubborn neck does bow,
So Love's opposers do at last submit
And gladly drudge at the accustom'd plough.
