Yet for all his cunning, || Venus had a greene gowne.

10.

Cupid shootes arrowes At Venus her darlings,

For they are nearest unto him by kind:

Diana he hits not, nor can he pierce worldlings,

For they have strong armour his darts to defend:

The one hath chastity, And Cupid doth defie;

The others cruelty || makes him a clowne:

But leaving this I see, From Cupid few are free,

And ther’s much courtesie In a greene gowne.
