Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses-Cupid paid: He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lips, the rose Growing one's cheek (but none knows how); With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin: All these did my Campaspe win. At last he set her both his eyes- She won, and Cupid blind did rise. O Love! has she done this for thee? What shall, alas! become of me? (John Lyly)
