VPONE THE PORTRAIT OF CVPID.
SONNET.
Luif ȝoung is paintit lyk ane prettie boyIn signe that ȝouth of him hes greatest cuir:
Vith semblant sueit he smylith sum thing moy
To schaw he dois be craft his sute alluir:
His bodie quhyt all nakit dois Induir
for his delyt but onie schame at all:
His laik of sycht Also dois ws assuir
His snappring state And Iudgement verray small:
The schaft And bow quhilk both he beirs so tall
Declairs him prompt All persons to persew:
Thay giwe him vings hich vith the vind to brall
Because he is so vauering and vntrew:
Auld painters hes this form for luif prepaird
To lerne ws vit quhan ve do luif regaird.
