0:24Love seeketh not itself to please
0:31Nor for itself hath any care
0:38But for another gives its ease
0:43And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair
1:14So sang a little Clod of Clay
1:20Trodden with the cattle's feet
1:27But a pebble of the brook
1:32Warbled out these metres meet
2:01Love seeketh only Self to please
2:08To bind another to its delight
2:14Joys in another's loss of ease
2:20And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite
Love seeketh not itself to please Nor for itself hath any care But for another gives its ease And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair So sang a little Clod of Clay Trodden with the cattle's feet But a pebble of the brook Warbled out these metres meet Love seeketh only Self to please To bind another to its delight Joys in another's loss of ease And builds a Hell in Heaven's despite
