EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 3. THE VOLUNTARY PRISONER by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: UNTRAINED IN ALL LOVE'S SUBTLE TRICKS AND WILES
Last Line: AND FEEL THOSE ILLS WHICH I MYSELF CREATE.
Subject(s): LOVE;
UNTRAINED in all Love's subtle tricks and wiles,
I late was free and boasted of my state:
Now willingly I'm taken in his toils
And feel those ills which I myself create.
