AGAINST LOVE, by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: When ere my heart, love's warmth, but entertaines
Last Line: Or let me 'gender with eternall frost.
Subject(s): Love - Complaints


When ere my heart, Love's warmth, but entertaines,
O Frost! O Snow! O Haile forbid the Banes.
One drop now deads a spark; but if the same
Once gets a force, Floods cannot quench the flame.
Rather then love, let me be ever lost;
Or let me 'gender with eternall frost.
