[While at his forge, the Imortal cuckold]
While at his forge, the Imortal cuckoldthat's to the Bonyest Godess Buckled
was Pointing these mischivous darts
that Peirces young unguarded hearts
his Bony wife in hinny dipt them
her son as aft with wormwood tipt them
mein time to get a cast of craft
either of hard ware, or of saft
came in the furious God that Rules
when feilds are Clad with feighting fools
and when the weirs are oer gaes sculkan
to adorn the brows of Cheils like Vulcan
the mighty Mars with scorning moves
his Weighty Lance & Leugh at Love's
what Pudding Prick What Shures [?] qouth he
are these ye make sae Light sae wee
but soone the slee Unsonsy Brat
said theirs ane weightier—feel but that
I'll lay if you speak truth & plain
you'll own it Heavyer than your ain
mars took it but nae sooner took it
than that he fund he had mistook it
340
in hope to gain be't Venus smild
but frae the Bottom of his Liver
he sight and ound the dangerous Quiver
was heavey—and that he'd back receive it
quoth Cupid keep it since ye have it
