CUPID TRIUMPHANT.

CUPID TRIUMPHANT.
"Take heed! Take heed! come with speed,
For I've just new-strung my bow;
My qulver is full; if the shaft pull,
Some arrow may hit, you know"
40, pull away!" did the maiden say;
For who'd be the coward to mind
A bow that is strung by an archer so young,
Who in both of his eyes is blind?"
The bow he drew, and the shaft it flew,
And the maiden was heard to cry:
20! take this dart from my wounded heart,
Dear Cupid, or else l die!"
He said as he smiled: II am but child
And could have no power to find
With both of my eyes where the dart now lies,
And you know, dearest maid, am blind"
