Analysis of Love Quickly Is Pall'd
Thomas Shadwell 1642 (Weeting or Lynford, Norfolk) – 1692 (London)
Love quickly is pall'd,
Tho' with labour 'tis gain'd;
Wine never does cloy
Tho' with ease 'tis obtain'd.
We sing while you sigh,
We laugh while you weep;
Love robs you of rest,
Wine lulls us asleep.
