Upon Cupid.
LOve, like a Beggar, came to meWith Hose and Doublet torne:His Shirt bedangling from his knee,With Hat and Shooes out-worne.
He askt an almes; I gave him bread,And meat too, for his need:Of which, when he had fully fed,He wisht me all Good speed.
Away he went, but as he turn'd(In faith I know not how)He toucht me so, as that I burn,And am tormented now.
Love's silent flames, and fires obscureThen crept into my heart;And though I saw no Bow, I'm sure,His finger was the dart.
