Cupids golden summons decreed
With secret aim silvered arrows speed
Linking hearts with passionate will
For loves hope to fulfill
With poetic verse loves sentiments dispence
with torrents of eloquence
And there engraved upon the heart
with firey darts loves secrets to
persuade unsuspecting hearts
With such grand felicity and clandestine charms
Eternal love is birthed in lovers arms
