Verses Written under a Carving of Cupid, Blowing Bladders in the Air -

by Robert Greene

Robert Greene

Love is a lock that linketh noble minds,

Faith is the key that shuts the spring of love,

Lightness a wrest that wringeth all awry,

Lightness a plague that fancy cannot brook;

Lightness in love so bad and base a thing,

As foul disgrace to greatest states doth bring.
