to althea from prison by richard lovelace - sir cedric hardwicke lyrics
when love with unconfinèd wings
hovers within my gates
and my divine althea brings
to whisper at the grates;
when i lie tangled in her hair
and fettered to her eye
the gods that wanton in the air
know no such liberty
when flowing cups run swiftly round
with no allaying thames
our careless heads with roses bound
our hearts with loyal flames;
when thirsty grief in wine we steep
when healths and draughts go free
fishes that tipple in the deep
know no such liberty
when (like committеd linnets) i
with shriller throat shall sing
the sweetnеss, mercy, majesty
and glories of my king;
when i shall voice aloud how good
he is, how great should be
enlargèd winds, that curl the flood
know no such liberty
stone walls do not a prison make
nor iron bars a cage;
minds innocent and quiet take
that for an hermitage
if i have freedom in my love
and in my soul am free
angels alone that soar above
enjoy such liberty
