Analysis of Cupid, Cupid.



Cupid, Cupid. Cherubic sprite!
Do you feel at all contrite?
To fire your bow at only one,
Then fly away and say, "I'm done!"

Cupid, Cupid. Do you delight
To set a single dart in flight?
So one can pine, the other run,
Is that your impish way of fun?

Cupid, Cupid. Who do you serve
That tolerates such childish nerve?
Does God, or Satan have your oath?
Personally,.....methinks it's both!
