Cvpid, I hate thee, which I’de haue thee know,
A naked Starueling euer may’st thou be,
Poore Rogue, goe pawne thy Fascia and thy Bow,
For some few Ragges wherewith to couer thee;
Or if thou’lt not, thy Archerie forbeare,
To some base Rustick doe thy selfe preferre,
And when Corne’s sowne, or growne into the Eare,
Practise thy Quiuer, and turne Crow-keeper;
Or being Blind (as fittest for the Trade)
Goe hyre thy selfe some bungling Harpers Boy;
They that are blind, are Minstrels often made,
So may’st thou liue, to thy faire Mothers Ioy:
That whilst with Mars she holdeth her old Way,
Thou, her blind Sonne, may’st sit by them, and play.
