| | | SUCH strange effects wrought by thought-wounding CUPID, | |
| In changing me to fish, his baits to swallow; | |
| With poison choking me, unless that you bid | |
| Him to my stomach give some antidote! | |
| Fly, little god, with wings of swallow! | 5 |
| Or if thy feathers fast float, | |
| That antidote from my heart’s Empress bring! | |
| My feeble senses to revive: | |
| Lest (if thou wave it with an eagle’s wing) | |
| Too late thou come, and find me not alive! | 10 | | | |
