Rhyme Scheme: ABCAADEAFGFGBB| His mother deere Cupid offended late | A |
| Because that Mars growne slacker in her loue | B |
| With pricking shot he did not throughly moue | C |
| To keepe the place of their first louing state | A |
| The boy refusde for fear of Marses hate | A |
| Who threatned stripes if he his wrath did proue | D |
| But she in chafe him from her lap did shoue | E |
| Brake bowe brake shafts while Cupid weeping sate | A |
| Till that his grandame Nature pitying it | F |
| Of Stellaes brows made him two better bowes | G |
| And in her eyes of arrows infinit | F |
| O how for ioy he leaps O how he crowes | G |
| And straight therewith like wags new got to play | B |
| Falls to shrewd turnes And I was in his way | B |
