"Talk not of Love."
By A. M.
Do any of your musical correspondents know the author of the following song, and whether it has ever appeared in print? I have it in manuscript, set to a very fine tune, but have never seen or heard it elsewhere. "Talk not of love, it gives me pain, For love hath been my foe; He bound me with an iron chain, And plunged me deep in woe. "But friendship's pure and lasting joys My soul was form'd to prove, Then welcome, win, and wear the prize, But never talk of love."
