All the Universe Obeys, Air de cour by Michel Lambert

Air de cour by Michel Lambert Themes LovePeriod 17th century

All the Universe obeys Love,
Fair Phyllis, submit your soul to him,
The other Gods pay court to this God,
And their power is less than his flame:
For young hearts it is the supreme good,
Love, love, all the rest is nothing.

Without this Love, so many ravishing sights,
These flowering Meadows, Woods, Gardens & Fountains,
Have no charms that are not languid,
And their pleasure is less sweet than these pains:
For young hearts it is the supreme good,
Love, Love, all the rest is nothing.

Michel Lambert
