AIRS FOR THE LUTE: 2 by ARTHUR WILLIAM SYMONS

Poet Analysis

First Line: IF TIME SO SWEETLY
Last Line: TRUE TIME AND MEASURE OF YOUR BLOOD?
Subject(s): LUTES;

If time so sweetly
On true according viols make
Her own completely
The lawless laws of turn and shake;

How should I doubt then
Love, being tuned unto your mood,
Should bring about then
True time and measure of your blood?
