Cupid detected.

Silly Heart forbear, those are murd'ring Eyes,
In the which I swear Cupid lurking lies:
See his Quiver, see his Bow; to see his Dart,
Fly, O fly! thou foolish Heart.
Greedy Eyes, take heed, they are scorching Beams
Causing Hearts to bleed, & your Eyes spring streams:
Love lies watching with his Bow bent, and his Dart
For to wound both Eyes and Heart.
Think and gaze your fill, foolish Heart and Eyes,
Since you love your ill, and your good despise:
Cupid Shooting, Cupid Darting, and his Band
Mortal powers cannot withstand.
