74 THOMAS OF KEMPEN Amor ex Deo natus est, iii. 5, 3.
By Love we know that God is God, He was the first created thing, Faint odours still around Him cling Of flowers by Eve in Eden trod.
His locks retain their primal gold For all his life had been so long, In battle with the hosts of wrong Love lacks the time for growing old.
God gave command to Love to teach, Not always gentle master he.
Love hath his art and mystery And divers discipline for each.
But sorrow doth he most approve, Strong souls... that sorrowed have confessed That they have learned the lesson best DistilHng out of sorrow love.
75 THOMAS OF KEMPEN Cantem amoris canticum, iii. 5, 6.
Love that lives and love that dies. Love that comes and love that flies, Love that wins his way too late, Even love that turns to hate ; Thus the evil and the good All the world hath understood. Christian, thou hast nought to dread. Love for thee is daily bread, Love of Christ constraineth thee, Wherefoi'e art thou truly free.
76 THOMAS OF KEMPEN Sine dolore non vivitur in amore, iii, 5, 7.
