Love

Samuel Daniel (1562–1619)

LOVE is a sickness full of woes,

All remedies refusing;

A plant that most with cutting grows,

Most barren with best using.

More we enjoy it, more it dies,

If not enjoyed, it sighing cries

Love is a torment of the mind,

A tempest everlasting;

And Jove hath made it of a kind

Not well, nor full, nor fasting.

More we enjoy it, more it dies;

If not enjoyed, it sighing cries
