William Baylebridge Light Poems
- 1. Life And Death
This world is driven by two contending powers--
Love, that coerceth Heaven to dwell with dust,
And that dire pledge of Hell's self-perjured Lust--
And as we list must Heaven and Hell be ours.

And is not flesh, there, verity? In sooth!
So Love not by this fantasy is pleasured
