A fitting mate for his;
Dan Cupid mends with skilful arts
And sells them cheap “as is.”
Then as you take your walks abroad,
Ho, all ye lovers, stop!
And view these bargains which we laud
At Cupid’s Heartware Shop.
The gloveshop is a popular emporium, for gloves are so often given or confiscated, for souvenirs, that they must be continually replaced.
Mittens, also used as gifts, are for sale here.
In the bookshops the best selling titles are “How to Make Love and How to Keep It,” “Sonnets from the Portuguese,” “The Lover’s Lexicon.”
