THE WAKEFUL NIGHTINGALE, by                    
Last Line: "for love that makes him wakeful, makes him sing"
Subject(s): Birds;cupid;love - Complaints;nightingales; Eros


THE wakeful nightingale, that takes no rest,
While Cupid warms his little breast;
All night how sweetly he complains,
And makes us fear that love has pains:
No, no, no, no, 'tis no such thing,
For love that makes him wakeful, makes him sing.
