Is Love a Boy?

Is Love a boy? What means he then to strike?
Or is he blind? Why will he be a guide?
Is he a man? Why doth he hurt his like?
Is he a God? Why doth he men deride?
No one of these, but one compact of all
A wilful boy, a man still dealing blows
Of purpose blind, to lead men to their thrall
A God that rules unruly, God he knows

Boy, pity me that am a child again
Blind be no more, my guide to make me stray
Man, use thy might to force away my pain
God, do me good, and lead me to my way:
And if thou be'st a power to me unknown
Power of my life, let here thy grace be shown
