Love and Death once ceased their strife At the Tavern of Mans Life. Called for wine, and threw, alasl Each his quiver on the grass. When the bout was OCT they found Mingled arrows strewed the ground. Hastily they gathered then Each the loves and lives of men. Ah, the fateful dawn deceivedl Mingled arrows each one sheaved; Deaths dread armory was stored With the shafts he most abhorred; Loves light quiver groaned beneath Venom headed darts of death. Thus it was they wrought our woe At the Tavern long ago. Tell me, do our masters know, Loosing blindly as they fly, Old men love while young men die2
