Love! inform thy faithful creature <br />How to keep his fair one's heart; <br />Must it be by truth of nature, <br />Or by poor dissembling art? <br />Tell the secret, show the wonder, <br />How we both may gain our ends; <br />I am lost if we're asunder, <br />Ever tortured if we're friends.<br /><br />Matthew Prior<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/songs-set-to-music-13-set-by-mr-de-fesch/
