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
