An Hymne to Love.
I will confesseWith cheerfullnesse,Love is a thing so likes me,That let her layOn me all day,I'le kisse the hand that strikes me.
I will not, I,Now blubb'ring cry,It (ah!) too late repents me,That I did fallTo love at all,Since love so much contents me.
No, no, I'le beIn fetters free;While others they sit wringingTheir hands for paine;I'le entertaineThe wounds of love with singing.
With flowers and wineAnd Cakes divine,To strike me I will tempt thee:Which done; no more

Ile come beforeThee and thine Altars empty.
