Why was Cupid a Boy
And why a boy was he
He should have been a Girl
For ought that I can see
For he shoots with his bow 5
And the Girl shoots with her Eye
And they both are merry & glad
And laugh when we do cry
And to make Cupid a Boy t
Was the Cupid Girls mocking plant 10
For a boy cant interpret the thing t
Till he is become a man
And then hes so piercd with care
And wounded with arrowy smarts
That the whole business of his life 15
Is to pick out the heads of the darts
Twas the Greeks love of war
Turnd Love into a Boy
And Woman into a Statue of Stone
And away fled every joy 20
