Love is a fire
Made of desire,
Whose chief Ambition is to heaven to aspire.
It stops the gradation
Of fury and passion,
It governs all good Families, and best can guide a Nation.
The Low Land, the high Land,
And my Land, and thy Land,
Grew all in common straight when Love had left this Island

Of fury and passion,

The Low Land, the high Land,
And my Land, and thy Land,
Grew all in common straight when Love had left this Island
Where peace is panting,
And rage is ranting,
’Tis an undoubted sign the King of Love is wanting.
Father and Mother,
Sister and Brother,
If Love be lacking, quickly mischief one another.
Where wrath is, the rod is
That ruines our bodies;
With hate the divel is, but where Love is God is.
Then let us not doubt it,
But streight go about it,
To bring in Love again, we cannot live without it.

Then let the Graces
Crown our embraces,
And let us settle all things in their proper places.
Lest persecution
Cause dissolution,
Let all purloyned wealth be made a restitution.
