Won 4 J:

With ruby lips and laughing eye
The little god of love drew nigh
And what shall / compare him to?
In simile there's nothing new;
golden beam, shot from the sun,
With joy from all the light upon?
A beauteous butterfly, whose light
Fills nodding flowers with delight?
A winged marksman, blithe and bold,
With dimpled limbs and locks of gold.
His arrows, dipped in charmed water,
Held ever ready for the slaughter?
Perhaps of all the last is best
Time-honorcd from Grecian's quest.
They say he shoots with needless aim,
And soldier gruff and gentle dame,
The bloom of spring and wintry snow,
The sour and sweet, the high and low,
Forget their breeding and their craft
When wounded by that mystic shaft.
However oft he shoots amss,
am most certain, dear, OF this
His aim was true, his sight was fine.
When he transfixed thy heart and mine.
