Rhyme Scheme: ABABCC DEDEFF GHGHII| CUPID abroad was lated in the night | A |
| His wings were wet with ranging in the rain | B |
| Harbor he sought to me he took his flight | A |
| To dry his plumes I heard the boy complain | B |
| I oped the door and granted his desire | C |
| I rose myself and made the wag a fire | C |

| Looking more narrow by the fire's flame | D |
| I spied his quiver hanging by his back | E |

| A pleasing wound but that it was too high | H |
| His shaft procured a sharp yet sugared smart | G |
| Away he flew for why is wings were dry | H |
| But left the arrow sticking in my breast | I |
| That sore I grieved I welcomed such a guest | I |
