XIV.

But if Love don't, Cash does, and Cash alone:

Cash rules the Grove, and fells it too besides;

Without cash, camps were thin, and courts were none;

Without cash, Malthus tells you—"take no brides."So Cash rules Love the ruler, on his own

High ground, as virgin Cynthia sways the tides:

And as for "Heaven being Love," why not say honey

Is wax? Heaven is not Love, 't is Matrimony.
