If love is a garden, growing green, And lock'd away, to be ne'er seen, Then mine is dead and abused, Neglected and disused. For while you toil and labor, I seek only favour. For Love is only cruel; Life's unpleasant gruel And pleasure should reign, As forthwith we gain And stride to endeavor Ourselves to find pleasure.

Garden for a Hedonist
If love is a garden, growing green, And lock'd away, to be ne'er seen, Then mine is dead and abused, Neglected and disused. For while you toil and labor, I seek only favour. For Love is only cruel; Life's unpleasant gruel And pleasure should reign, As forthwith we gain And stride to endeavor Ourselves to find pleasure.
