To The Love Of Andr And Gwen

Topics: classic

If after times     Should pay the least attention to these rhymes,     I bid them learn     'Tis not my own heart here     That doth so often seem to break and burn -     O no such thing! -     Nor is it my own dear     Always I sing:     But, as a scrivener in the market-place,     I sit and write for lovers, him or her,     Making a song to match each lover's case -     A trifling gift sometimes the gods confer!     (After STRATO)
