Venus when her son was lost	A
Cried him up and down the coast	B
In hamlets palaces and parks	C
And told the truant by his marks	C
Golden curls and quiver and bow	D
This befell long ago	E
Time and tide are strangely changed	F
Men and manners much deranged	F
None will now find Cupid latent	G
By this foolish antique patent	G
He came late along the waste	H
Shod like a traveller for haste	H
With malice dared me to proclaim him	I
That the maids and boys might name him	I
	-
Boy no more he wears all coats	J
Frocks and blouses capes cap ocirc tes	J
He bears no bow or quiver or wand	K
Nor chaplet on his head or hand	L
Leave his weeds and heed his eyes	J
All the rest he can disguise	J
In the pit of his eyes a spark	M
Would bring back day if it were dark	M
And if I tell you all my thought	N
Though I comprehend it not	O
In those unfathomable orbs	J
Every function he absorbs	J
He doth eat and drink and fish and shoot	P
And write and reason and compute	P
And ride and run and have and hold	Q
And whine and flatter and regret	R
And kiss and couple and beget	R
By those roving eye balls bold	Q
Undaunted are their courages	J
Right Cossacks in their forages	J
Fleeter they than any creature	S
They are his steeds and not his feature	S
Inquisitive and fierce and fasting	T
Restless predatory hasting	T
And they pounce on other eyes	J
As lions on their prey	U
And round their circles is writ	V
Plainer than the day	U
Underneath within above	W
Love love love love	W
He lives in his eyes	J
There doth digest and work and spin	X
And buy and sell and lose and win	X
He rolls them with delighted motion	Y
Joy tides swell their mimic ocean	Y
Yet holds he them with tortest rein	Z
That they may seize and entertain	Z
The glance that to their glance opposes	J
Like fiery honey sucked from roses	J
	-
He palmistry can understand	L
Imbibing virtue by his hand	L
As if it were a living root	P
The pulse of hands will make him mute	P
With all his force he gathers balms	J
Into those wise thrilling palms	J
	-
Cupid is a casuist	P
A mystic and a cabalist	P
Can your lurking Thought surprise	J
And interpret your device	J
Mainly versed in occult science	J
In magic and in clairvoyance	J
Oft he keeps his fine ear strained	P
And reason on her tiptoe pained	P
For aery intelligence	J
And for strange coincidence	J
But it touches his quick heart	P
When Fate by omens takes his part	P
And chance dropt hints from Nature's sphere	A2
Deeply soothe his anxious ear	B2
	-
Heralds high before him run	Y
He has ushers many a one	Y
Spreads his welcome where he goes	J
And touches all things with his rose	J
All things wait for and divine him	I
How shall I dare to malign him	I
Or accuse the god of sport	P
I must end my true report	P
Painting him from head to foot	P
In as far as I took note	P
Trusting well the matchless power	S
Of this young eyed emperor	S
Will clear his fame from every cloud	P
With the bards and with the crowd	P
	-
He is wilful mutable	C2
Shy untamed inscrutable	C2
Swifter fashioned than the fairies	J
Substance mixed of pure contraries	J
His vice some elder virtue's token	Y
And his good is evil spoken	Y
Failing sometimes of his own	D2
He is headstrong and alone	D2
He affects the wood and wild	P
Like a flower hunting child	P
Buries himself in summer waves	J
In trees with beasts in mines and caves	J
Loves nature like a horned cow	D
Bird or deer or cariboo	D
	-
Shun him nymphs on the fleet horses	J
He has a total world of wit	P
O how wise are his discourses	J
But he is the arch hypocrite	P
And through all science and all art	P
Seeks alone his counterpart	P
He is a Pundit of the east	P
He is an augur and a priest	P
And his soul will melt in prayer	E2
But word and wisdom are a snare	E2
Corrupted by the present toy	P
He follows joy and only joy	P
	-
There is no mask but he will wear	E2
He invented oaths to swear	E2
He paints he carves he chants he prays	J
And holds all stars in his embrace	J
Godlike but 'tis for his fine pelf	W
The social quintessence of self	W
Well said I he is hypocrite	P
And folly the end of his subtle wit	P
He takes a sovran privilege	F2
Not allowed to any liege	G2
For he does go behind all law	H2
And right into himself does draw	H2
For he is sovranly allied	P
Heaven's oldest blood flows in his side	P
And interchangeably at one	Y
With every king on every throne	D2
That no God dare say him nay	U
Or see the fault or seen betray	U
He has the Muses by the heart	P
And the Parc all are of his part	P
	-
His many signs cannot be told	P
He has not one mode but manifold	P
Many fashions and addresses	J
Piques reproaches hurts caresses	J
Action service badinage	G2
He will preach like a friar	S
And jump like Harlequin	Y
He will read like a crier	S
And fight like a Paladin	X
Boundless is his memory	I2
Plans immense his term prolong	J2
He is not of counted age	G2
Meaning always to be young	K2
And his wish is intimacy	I2
Intimater intimacy	I2
And a stricter privacy	I2
The impossible shall yet be done	Y
And being two shall still be one	Y
As the wave breaks to foam on shelves	J
Then runs into a wave again	L2
So lovers melt their sundered selves	J
Yet melted would be twain	Z
