Love
Song: Give End unto Thy Pastimes, Love
From Love Restored
Love
Give end unto thy pastimes, Love,
Before thy labours prove:
A little rest between,
Will make thy next shows better seen.
Now let them close their eyes, and see
If they can dream of thee,
Since morning hastes to come in view;
And all the morning dreams are true.
