love's garden grief - david moore lyrics

vain loves avaunt! infamous is your pleasure
your joys deceit;
your jewels jests, and worthless trash your treasure
fools’ common bait
your palace is a prison that allureth
to sweet mishap, and rest that pain procureth

your garden grief hedged in with th*rns of envy
and stakes of strife;
your allies error gravel’d with jealousy
and cares of life;
your branches seats enwrapp’d with shades of sadness;
your arbours breed rough fits of raging madness

your beds are sown with seeds of all iniquity
and poisoning weeds
whose stalks ill thoughts, whose leaves words full of vanity
whose fruits misdeeds;
whose sap is sin, whosе force and operation
to banish grace, and work thе soul’s d*mnation

your trees are dismal plants of pining corrosives
whose root is ruth
whose bark is bale, whose timber stubborn fantasies
whose pith untruth;
on which in lieu of birds whose voice delighteth
of guilty conscience screeching note affrighteth
your coolest summer gales are scalding sighings
your showers are tears;
your sweetest smell the stench of sinful living
your favours fears;
your gard’ner satan, all you reap is misery
your gain remorse and loss of all felicity
