Epig. 31. CUPIDS CREATION.
Lust favouring Vice, a DietieAscrib'd to Love, and to be free
99
A forged power, that Cupid gladds,
By his Paphian Mother sent
All about Earths Continent;
Flies up to Heaven and there straies,
Shoots shafts, that every God obeyes:
Saturnus, he with the awfull Rod
Whose feet with winged shooes are shod,
All power to him is given,
On Earth, Seas, Hell and Heaven;
T'xcuse their guilt, Franticks bestow
Upon Dame Venus Son an awfull Bow.
