Love

Proteus of Marble

by William Drummond of Hawthornden 1585–1649

Love

THis is no work of Stone,
Though it seems breathlesse, cold, and sense hath non…;
But that … God which keeps
The monstro… people of the raging Deeps:
Now that he doth not change his shape this while,
It is thus constant more you to beguile.
