Proserpine may pull her flowersA
Wet with dew or wet with tearsB
Red with anger pale with fearsC
Is it any fault of oursA
If Pluto be an amorous kingD
And come home nightly ladenE
Under his broad bat wingD
With a gentle earthly maidenE
Is it so Wind is it soF
All that I and you do knowF
Is that we saw fly and fixG
'Mongst the flowers and reeds of StyxG
YesterdayH
Where the Furies made their hayH
For a bed of tiger cubsI
A great fly of Beelzebub'sI
The bee of hearts which mortals nameJ
Cupid Love and Fie for shameJ
-
-
Proserpine may weep in rageK
But ere I and you have doneE
Kissing bathing in the sunE
What I have in yonder cageK
She shall guess and ask in vainL
Bird or serpent wild or tameJ
But if Pluto does 't againM
It shall sing out loud his shameJ
What hast caught then What hast caughtN
Nothing but a poet's thoughtO
Which so light did fall and fixI
'Mongst the flowers and reeds of StyxI
YesterdayH
Where the Furies made their hayH
For a bed of tiger cubsI
A great fly of Beelzebub'sI
The bee of hearts which mortals nameJ
Cupid Love and Fie for shameJ
