To Love or Not

…to ‘what is love’ by Thomas Haywood


You want to know so I will tell
true love within the spirit dwell
it’s nothing you can buy or sell
nor darkest soul could ever quell
take heart, if you should toll the bell
to dare, beware, wench Jezebel
for in secluded dismal dell
of wily woods and wanton well
awaits the open arms of hell
Behold! the shameless Jezebel.. to hell she fell!

The wench from jealousy was sick
no friend indeed, a nasty tick
maliciously she planned to trick
by charm and guile and fatal prick
to kill the queen, the hour to pick
to lie, to sneak, to wield a brick
but nay!  the noble one was slick
and with her mighty fatal flick
fillet the wench with sharpened stick
Behold! her majesty, a quick.. ole politic!
