Love

'Tis highly rational, we can't dispute

by Richard Garnett 1835–1906

From The Home Book of Verse, ed. Burton Egbert Stevenson (1912)

Love

'Tis highly rational, we can't dispute,
The Love, being naked, should promote a suit:
But doth not oddity to him attach
Whose fire's so oft extinguished by a match?
