SONG BY APELLES.

Cupid and my Campaspe playd

At cardes for kisses; Cupid payd.

He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, 65

His mothers doves, and teeme of sparows;

Looses them, too. Then, downe he throwes

The corrall of his lippe, the rose

Growing on's cheek,--but none knows how,--

With these, the cristall of his brow, 70

And then the dimple of his chinne;

All these did my Campaspe winne.

At last, hee set her both his eyes;

Shee won, and Cupid blind did rise.

O love! has shee done this to thee? 75

What shall, alas, become of mee? [_Exit Apelles._]
