To say how long our Love will last,
It may be we within this Hour
May lose those Joys we now do taste:
The Blessed, that Immortal be,
From Change in Love are only free.
Then, since we Mortal Lovers are,
Ask not how long our Love will last;
But while it does, let us take care
Each Minute be with Pleasure past;
Were it not madness to deny
To Live, because w'are sure to Die.
