Rhyme Scheme: A BCBCDEDEFGFGHI| Cupid Conjured | A |
| - | |
| Thou purblind boy since thou hast been so slack | B |
| To wound her heart whose eyes have wounded me | C |
| And suffer'd her to glory in my wrack | B |
| Thus to my aid I lastly conjure thee | C |
| By hellish Styx by which the Thund'rer swears | D |
| By thy fair mother's unavoided power | E |
| By Hecate's names by Proserpine's sad tears | D |
| When she was rapt to the infernal bower | E |
| By thine own loved Psyche by the fires | F |
| Spent on thine alters flaming up to heav'n | G |
| By all true lovers' sighs vows and desires | F |
| By all the wounds that ever thou hast giv'n | G |
| I conjure thee by all that I have nam'd | H |
| To make her love or Cupid be thou damn'd | I |
