Tony Wakeford - Cupid & d**h I lyrics

Though little be the god of love Yet his arrows mighty are And his victories above What the valiant reach by war Nor are his limits with the sky Over the Milky Way he'll fly And sometimes wound a deity Apollo once the python slew But a keener arrow flew From Daphne's eye, and made a wound For which the god, no balsam found A smile of Venus that did more On Mars then armies could before Thus Love can fiery spirits tame And, when he pleases, cold rocks inflame Victorious men of Earth, no more Proclaim how wide your Empires are And though you bind in every shore And your triumphs reach as far as night or day Yet you proud monarchs must obey And mingle with forgotten ashes when d**h calls you to The crowd Of common men Devouring famine, plague and war Each able to undo mankind d**h's servile emissaries are Nor to these alone confined He has at will More quaint and subtle ways to k** A smile or kiss, he will use the art Shall have the cunning sk** To break a heart Stay Cupid, where art you flying? Pity the pale lovers dying They that honoured thee before Will honour thee no more At thy alter pay their vows O let the weeping virgins strow Instead of rose, and myrtle boughs Sad yew and funeral cypress now Unkind Cupid, leave thy k**ing These are all my mother's doves O do not wound such noble loves And make them bleed, that should be billing What will it, d**h, advance thy name? Upon cold rocks to waste a flame Or by mistake seem to throw Bright torches into pits of snow Thy rage is lost, thy old k**ing frost And with thy arrows you may try To make the young or aged bleed But indeed not compel one heart to die O Love! O d**h! Be it your fate Before you both repent too late To meet and try upon yourselves Your sad artillery So d**h may make Love kind again Or cruel d**h by Love be slain
