Love
A Chaine of Gold
Love
ARe not those Locks of Gold
Sufficient Chaines the wildest Hearts to hold?
Is not that Ivory Hand
A Diamantine Band,
Most sure to keep the most untamed Mind,
But ye must others find?
O yes▪ why is that Golden One then wo…ne?
Thus free in Chaines (perhaps) Loves Chaines to scorne.
