GEORGE HERBERT Love Lyrics
LOVE bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
Guiltie of dust and sinne.
But quick-ey`d Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning, 5
If I lack`d any thing.
A guest, I answer`d, worthy to be here:
Love said, you shall be he.
I the unkinde, ungratefull? Ah my deare,
I cannot look on thee. 10
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
Who made the eyes but I?
Truth Lord, but I have marr`d them: let my shame
Go where it doth deserve.
And know you not, sayes Love, who bore the blame? 15
My deare, then I will serve.
You must sit down, sayes Love, and taste my meat:
So I did sit and eat.
