Anne Kingsmill Finch - The Unequal FettersAnne Kingsmill Finch - The Unequal Fetters
Work rating: Low


Cou`d we stop the time that`s flying  Or recall itt when `tis past Put far off the day of Dying  Or make Youth for ever last To Love wou`d then be worth our cost. But since we must loose those Graces  Which at first your hearts have wonne And you seek for in new Faces  When our Spring of Life is done It wou`d but urdge our ruine on Free as Nature`s first intention  Was to make us, I`ll be found Nor by subtle Man`s invention  Yeild to be in Fetters bound By one that walks a freer round. Mariage does but slightly tye Men  Whil`st close Pris`ners we remain They the larger Slaves of Hymen  Still are begging Love again At the full length of all their chain.
