Poem by Thomas Shadwell

* * *

Love quickly is pall'd,
Tho' with labour 'tis gain'd;
Wine never does cloy
Tho' with ease 'tis obtain'd.
We sing while you sigh,
We laugh while you weep;
Love robs you of rest,
Wine lulls us asleep.

1. Halcyon Days
2. Nymphs and Shepherds
3. Love in Their Little Veins Inspires
4. Your Awful Voice
5. Prepare, Prepare
