Culpable Cupid
Felix curses Cupid for his wife
and his subsequent unhappy life.
The little bugger, he complains,
has brought him only nuptial pains.
The rascal shot him a fatal blow
for her whose love is cold as snow.
How, he wails, that a single arrow
could smite a man with such sorrow?
Does the fickle little fool think the heart’s
a lifeless target for his capricious darts?
Let Mars and Venus repudiate him
and Pluto make him a worthy victim
sending him to his dark abode below
stripped of mischief, bow and arrow.
