[Yong Cupid hath proclam'd a bloody warre]

Yong Cupid hath proclam'd a bloody warre,
and vowes reueng on all the maiden crew,
oh yeeld faire Cloris, least in that foule iarre,
thine after penance makes thy follie rew,
and yet I feare hir wondrous beauti's such,
A thousand Cupids dare not Cloris tuch.
