Poem by John Marston

* * *

O LOVE, how strangely sweet
  Are thy weak passions,
That Love and Joy should meet
  In self-same fashions!
Oh, who can tell
  The cause why this should move?
But only this:
  No reason ask of Love.

1. To Everlasting Oblivion
2. Delicious Beauty That Doth Lie
3. The Nut-Brown Ale
4. If Love Be Holy, If That Mystery
5. The Scourge of Villainy
