FAB. LXI. Cupid and Death.

Cupid and Death by dire mistake chang'd Darts,
Death shot young flames into the Aged hearts,
From Cupids Bow deaths fatall arow flyes
And when the youth shoud only languish dyes.

Morall

Tis death to youth by age to be imbrac'd,
And winters Snow woud Junes gay Roses blast.
