"TELL ME, DEAREST, WHAT IS LOVE" by ANONYMOUS

Last Line: "THOSE THAT LOVE, TO LOVE ANEW"
Subject(s): LOVE;
@3Shep.@1 TELL me, dearest, what is love?
@3Nymph:@1 'Tis a lightning from above,
'Tis an arrow, 'tis a fire,
'Tis a toy they call desire;
'Tis a smile that doth beguile
The poor hearts of men that prove:
@3Shep.@1 Tell me more: Are women true?
@3Nymph.@1 Some love change, and so do you.
@3Shep.@1 Are they fair, and ever kind?
@3Nymph.@1 Yes, when men turn with every wind.
@3Shep.@1 Are they froward?
@3Nymph.@1 Ever toward
Those that love, to love anew.
