Cupid's Arrow

I wish that Cupid's eye be not as weak So that an arrow long could hit us both I wish a lover's dear the arrow seek So that by cupid's name be you my troth O that as love is born in loving hearts Thereby a place is sav'd For loving eyes Alas! that cupid's mind most foolish part Sees not that loves, nor hears a broken sigh And that his arrow's point, be missing aim And travels far as rightful ways be seen Thus lover's hearts be not to cupid games And stay a virgin shame, a conquered shield But that how life is led, we must not think And know that hearts unloved the arrow sink
