Love
Song: Love! Inform Thy Faithful Creature
From Miscellaneous Works (Waller, 1907)
Love
LOVE ! inform thy faithful creature
How to keep his fair-one's heart ;
Must it be by truth of nature ?
Or by poor dissembling art ?
Tell the secret, shew the wonder,
How we both may gain our ends ;
I am lost if we're asunder,
Ever tortur'd if we're friends.
