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, no cunning artifice they had to hide 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 pleasure of love
