pest,
Love will find out the way.
Where there is no place,
For the Glow-worm to lie:
Where there is no space,
For receipt of a Flye:
Where the Gnat she dares not venture,
Lest her self fast she lay:
But if Love come he will enter,
And will find out the way.
You may esteem him
A Child by his force;
Or you may deem him
A Coward, which is worse:
But if he whom Love doth Honour,
Be conceal'd from the Day;
Set a Thousand Guards upon him
Love will find out the way.
Some think to lose him,
Which is too unkind;
And some do suppose him,
Poor Heart to be Blind:
But if ne'er so close you wall him,
Do the best that you may;
Blind Love, if so you call him,
Will find out the way.
Well may the Eagle
Stoop down to the Fist;
Or you may inveagle,
The Phenix of the East:
With Tears the Tyger's moved,
To give over his Prey;
But never stop a Lover,
He will post on his way.
From _Dover_ to _Barwick_,
And Nations thro'out;
Brave _Guy_ of _Warwick_,
That Champion stout:
With his Warlike behaviour,
Thro' the World he did stray;
To win his _Phillis's_ Favour,
Love will find out the way.
In order next enters,
_Bevis_ so brave;
After Adventures,
And Policy grave:
To see whom he desired,
His _Josian_ so gay,
For whom his Heart was fired,
Love found out the way.
_The Second Part, To the same Tune._
The gordian Knot,
Which true Lovers knit;
Undo you cannot,
Nor yet break it:
Make use of your Inventions,
Their Fancies to betray;
To frustrate your intentions,
Love will find out the way.
From Court to Cottage,
In Bower and in Hall;
From the King unto the Beggar,
Love conquers all:
Tho' ne'er so stout and Lordly,
Strive do what you may;
Yet be you ne'er so hardy,
Love will find out the way.
Love hath power over Princes,
Or greatest Emperor;
In any Provinces,
Such is Love's Power:
There is no resisting,
But him to obey;
In spight of all contesting,
Love will find out the way.
If that he were hidden,
And all Men that are;
Were strictly forbidden,
That place to declare:
Winds that have no abiding,
Pitying their delay;
Will come and bring him tydings,
And direct him the way.
If the Earth should part him.
He would gallop it o're:
