Loves empire, or, The happy state of true lovers. Being a most pleasant and delightful new play song. When earth was made in the first age of men, love, that's now art, mov'd all by nature then; simplicity in love was then their pride, a generous passion, which did freely flow but now 'tis gold that governs all below: more is the pitty, yet we here may find, vertue out-do it, and to lovers kind. To a new play-house tune; or, All hail to the pleasures of love
