The Country Cupid
A Country Cupid I have gott
That prieinge Courtiers spie him not;
So poor disguis'd they will not minde him,
Cause hee his quiver left behinde him,
And all his Arrows and his Bowe:
Those would discover him, you know.

And all his Arrows and his Bowe:
Those would discover him, you know.
So wee Imploy him though a God;
Being a Child hee fears our Rodd;
Hee does not thinke we doe abuse him,
Though for a footman wee doe Use him;
And Hackin'm out like hier'd Carmen
From Paris, with love, to St. Jermyn.
