Rhyme Scheme: ABCB DEFE AGHG IJKJ L| Why was Cupid a boy | A |
| And why a boy was he | B |

| For he shoots with his bow | D |
| And the girl shoots with her eye | E |
| And they both are merry and glad | F |
| And laugh when we do cry | E |

| Till he has become a man | G |
| - | |
| And then he's so pierced with cares | I |
| And wounded with arrowy smarts | J |
| That the whole business of his life | K |
| Is to pick out the heads of the darts | J |
