    Farewell Love and All Thy Laws For Ever

    Uploaded by

    SONA
    The poem expresses the speaker's decision to abandon love and its rules forever. Having been tangled and pricked by love's baited hooks and sharp repulses, the speaker has been taught by Seneca and Plato to pursue perfect wealth and wit instead of lingering in blind error. The speaker bids farewell to love and asks it no longer set store in him or claim authority over him, as liberty is more desirable. Love should now trouble younger hearts rather than the speaker's, who has lost time climbing rotten boughs and will do so no longer.

    Farewell Love and all thy Laws for

    ever
    BY  SI R T HO MA S WYA TT

    Farewell love and all thy laws forever;


    Thy baited hooks shall tangle me no more.
    Senec and Plato call me from thy lore
    To perfect wealth, my wit for to endeavour.
    In blind error when I did persever,
    Thy sharp repulse, that pricketh aye so sore,
    Hath taught me to set in trifles no store
    And scape forth, since liberty is lever.
    Therefore farewell; go trouble younger hearts
    And in me claim no more authority.
    With idle youth go use thy property
    And thereon spend thy many brittle darts,
    For hitherto though I have lost all my time,
    Me lusteth no lenger rotten boughs to climb
