NO LUCK IN LOVE.
by Robert Herrick


I DO love I know not what,
Sometimes this and sometimes that ;
All conditions I aim at.

But, as luckless, I have yet
Many shrewd disasters met
To gain her whom I would get.

Therefore now I'll love no more
As I've doted heretofore :
He who must be, shall be poor.
