“My sweetest Lesbia, let us live and love, And though the sager sort our deeds reprove, Let us not weigh them. Heaven's great lamps do dive Into their west, and straight again revive, But soon as once set is our little light, Then must we sleep one ever-during night. See Catullus 200:5.” LittlesLightNightHeavenSleepAnd LoveWestDeedsLampsSweetestReviveLive And Love Author:Thomas Campion
