EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 7. THE IMPOSSIBILITY by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: WHO WARMLY COURTS THE COLD AND AWKWARD DAME
Last Line: WHO WITHOUT FUEL STRIVE TO KINDLE FIRE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
WHO warmly courts the cold and awkward dame,
Whose breast the living soul does scarce inspire,
With them an equal folly may proclaim,
Who without fuel strive to kindle fire.
