Cupid’s Nephew then am I,

Nor unskill’d his darts to ply; 10

But from Him I crav’d no warrant,

Coming thus to seek my Parent;

Not equipp’d with bow and quiver

Her by menace to deliver,

But resolv’d with filial care 15

Her captivity to share.

Hence, while on your toilet, She

Is doom’d a Pincushion to be,
