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. Love in Their Little Veins Inspires
2. Your Awful Voice
3. Halcyon Days
4. Nymphs and Shepherds
5. Dear Pretty Youth
