AND shall I weep that Love's no more, And magnify his reign? Sure never mortal man before, Would have his grief again. Farewell the long-continued ache, The days a-dream, the nights awake! I will rejoice and merry make, And never more complain. King Love is dead and gone for aye, Who ruled with might and main, For with a bitter word one day, I found my tyrant slain, And he in Heathenesse was bred, Nor ever was baptized, 'tis said, Nor is of any creed, and dead Can never rise again! |
