EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 12. LIFE FOR LOVE by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: NOT THE BRAVE BIRDS OF MARS FEEL HALF THAT RAGE
Last Line: THAN RIVAL LOVERS THAT DARE FIGHT AND DIE.
Subject(s): COCK-FIGHTING; LOVE;
NOT the brave birds of Mars feel half that rage,
Though likewise spurr'd by Love and Victory,
Or can more freely bleed upon the stage,
Than rival lovers that dare fight and die.
