In Cupid's court

by Unknown

And joys to see his subjects lie with living death in breast;

But dire Disdain lets drive a shaft, and galls this bragging fool,

He plucks his plumes, unbends his bow, and sets him new to school;

Whereby this boy that bragged late, as conqueror over all,

Now yields himself unto Disdain, his vassal and his thrall.

William Hunnis.
