CUPID RELIEVED.
As once young Cupid went astray
The little god I found;
I took his bow and shafts away,
And fast his pinions bound.
The little god I found;
I took his bow and shafts away,
And fast his pinions bound.
At Chloe's feet my spoils I cast,
My conquest proud to show;
She saw his godship fetter'd fast,
And smil'd to see him so.
My conquest proud to show;
She saw his godship fetter'd fast,
And smil'd to see him so.
But ah! that smile such fresh supplies
Of arms resistless gave!
I'm forc'd again to yield my prize,
And fall again his slave.
Of arms resistless gave!
I'm forc'd again to yield my prize,
And fall again his slave.
