Love . Love , like Original Sin , in all does dwell , Fools sighs in private , and the Witty tell ; Boast they'r fond Passions in repeated Rhymes , That other Reigning Mischief of the Times : The Learn'd asham'd to own their Amorous Pain , Vent the warm Raptures in a Pious strain , Sigh , Languish , Die , ( tho' for a Mortal fair , ) In Lays Divine , like Quarles and Arwaker .
