John Lyly Love Poems
- 1. Apelles' Song
Cupid and my Campaspe played
At cards for kisses; Cupid paid:
He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows,
His mother's doves, and team of sparrows;
... - 2. Cupid And My Campaspe

At cards for kisses;
Cupid paid.
He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows,

My curse, which shall strike blind the day ;
Never may sleep with velvet hand
Charm thine eyes with sacred wand ;
... - 4. Cards And Kisses
Cupid and my Campaspe play'd
At cards for kisses-Cupid paid:
He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows,
His mother's doves, and team of sparrows;
...
