Mischievous Cupid.
One summer's day. all in a shady lane, Pranced Cupid, laughing loud with saucy glee; His tiusrli'd shafts were ready by his side. While looked he round for sport right merrily. At last there came in sight A youth upon his right. Now mischief-making Cupid looked away. And saw a dark-eyed maid come singing by. They passed—those two young souls—yet spoke no word: But Cupid, hidden, might have heard a sigh. For down he aimed a dart That pierced the young man’s heart. Then on they walked awhile, and Cupid flew. Till by-aiMl-by the maid sat down and thought: The rascal shot her heart with woes of love. Well pleased that he came not out for naught: Then laughing on he went. With that day’s sport content.
