EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 8. BE QUICK AND SURE by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: ALL'S FISH THAT COMES TO NET, WHATE'ER SHE BE
Last Line: WILL TO THE ACTIVE LOVER BE A FRIEND.
Subject(s): LOVE;

ALL's fish that comes to net, whate'er she be,
Whom Love's blind god, or blinder chance shall send
Into thy arms, receive: each deity
Will to the active Lover be a friend.
