SONGS, SET TO MUSIC BY THE MOST EMINENT MASTERS: 13, by                     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love, inform thy faithful creature
Last Line: Ever tortured if we're friends.
Subject(s): Fidelity; Friendship; Love; Secrets; Faithfulness; Constancy


LOVE, inform thy faithful creature
How to keep his fair one's heart;
Must it be by truth of nature,
Or by poor dissembling art!

Tell the secret, show the wonder,
How we both may gain our ends;
I am lost if we're asunder,
Ever tortured if we're friends.
