Oh, if Love would be Wise as Love could be.
Love should know all things, Great things and small things.
VIII.
Alice and Harry, Lovesick, would marry ; THE PARADOX.
Plighted forever, Next day they sever ; Love's cup, the token.
Shattered and broken ; Spilt the love potion; Palled love's devotion, By Love's caresses, Sighs and excesses.
No sooner parted, Than, broken-hearted, Harry and Alice Would mend the crushed chalice.
No sage so wise is.
Love he despises ; THE PARADOX.
Else a dull-pated Fool... he were rated.
No fool so silly, But, willy-nilly, Grinning and tawdry, He finds his Audrey.
X.
Love is a debt all Pay with pure metal ; Love weighs all moneys Love's only coin is Love, where no trace is Of Lust that debases ; Fool's gold, all glitter.
Sour wine and bitter.
Lust, the betrayer, Flatterer and slayer, THE PARADOX.
On life it fattens, On virtue battens.
Yet in the market, Ugly and stark, it Stalks with Love's banner.
Aping Love's manner ; Lures men with smiling And dark beguiling ; Locks them with laughter ; Strangles them after.
