Excerpt from The Complete Works of Thomas Nashe, Vol. 4 of 6: For the First Time Collected and Edited With Memorial-Introduction, Notes and Illustrations, Etc Love And Life I met Love wandering in the fields of Life, Whose arrows, winged with joy and barbed with pain, Had marred his fair Olympian limbs, - in vain, For with his dreaming eyes, blind to all strife, He held his way, and, often left for slain, Still rose, to spend his shafts on things despised, Weak, sad, uncomely things; and I, surprised To see him idiot-like, such mien maintain, Questioned him as he passed why this was so. Then, for all answer, with a martyr's smile, He bent his golden bow, and all my heart In sudden flame I found, and grew to know Strange secrets of the melancholy Isle, Where Life and Love, the twins, were torn apart.
