A strife betwixt two Cupids reconciled.
About the sweet Bag of a Bee, two Cupids fell at ods;And whose the pretty prize should be, they vow'd to ask the gods:
Which Venus hearing thither came, and for their boldness stript them,
And taking thence from each his flame, with rods of Mirtle whipt them:
Which done, to still their wanton cryes, and quiet grown sh'ad seen them,
She kist and dry'd their dove-like eyes, and gave the Bag between them.
