Love Cupid Gallantry whate'er	A
We call that elf seen every where	B
Half frolicsome half ennuyeuse	C
Had chanced a country walk to choose	C
When sudden sweet and bright as May	D
Young Beauty tripp'd across his way	D
	-
Upon my word exclaims the boy	E
A lucky hit this pretty toy	E
To pass an hour with vapours haunted	F
Is quite the thing I wish'd and wanted	F
I do not so far condescend	G
As serious mischief to intend	G
But just to show my powers of pleasing	H
In flattery badinage and teasing	H
But should she for young girls poor things	C
Are tender as yon insect's wings	C
Should she mistake me and grow fond	I
Why I'll grow serious and abscond	I
	-
First not abruptly to confound her	A
With glance and smile he hovers round her	A
Next like a Bond street or Pall mall beau	J
Begins to press her gentle elbow	J
Then plays at once familiar walking	H
His whole artillery of talking	H
Like a young fawn the blushing maid	K
Trips on half pleased and half afraid	K
And while she palpitates and listens	C
Still fluttering where the sunbeam glistens	C
He shows her all his pretty things	C
His bow and quiver dart and wings	C
Now proud in power he sees her eyes	C
Dilate with beautiful surprise	C
But most though fraught with perturbation	L
His weapons claim her admiration	L
And with an archness most bewitching	H
Her naive simplicity enriching	H
She wonders where a maid might buy than	M
And begs to be allow'd to try them	N
	-
With secret scorn but smiling bland	O
He yields them to her curious hand	O
When instant twang the arrow flew	P
So just her aim it pierced him through	P
Right through his heart the luckless lad	Q
A heart to do him right he had	Q
All prone he lies in throbbing anguish	R
Through many an hour to pine and languish	R
And what made all his pangs more bitter	A
Off flew the damsel in a titter	A
Prudence conceal'd behind a tree	S
Cries out you've always laughed at me	S
Henceforth you'll recollect young sir	A
'Tis not so safe to laugh at her	A
