Wandered through the world OIL

Looking for unconscious victims.

All at once he spied 4 maiden.
Who was famed for beauty rare,
But who always coldly listened
To each lovers ardent prayer.
Swiftly Cupid shot his arrows.
Vainly shot them. one by one,
For his darts all missed the maiden.

Then he winked-sly little fellow!
And his next shot surely told,
For the last dart in his quiver
Was an arrow tipped with gold.

the merit Of verisimilitude; the occurrence

amateurish and tortured. The sound OF the feet
Of a crowd on the pavement is Hkened to the
peaceful evening lashing at the shore Of a lake"
The dispersal Of a band Of young men by an
