First Line: Whilst you are deaf to love, you may
Last Line: What you deny to all mankind?
Subject(s): Malherbe, Francois De (1555-1628)


WHILST you are deaf to love, you may,
Fairest Calista, weep, and pray,
And yet, alas! no mercy find;
Not but God's merciful, 'tis true,
But can you think he'll grant to you
What you deny to all Mankind?
