Matthew Prior - Cupid Turned Ploughman. - From Moschus
Work rating: Low

His lamp, his bow, and quiver laid aside,
A rustic wallet o`er his shoulders tied,
Sly Cupid, always on new mischief bent,
To the rich field and furrow`d tillage went;
Like any ploughman toil`d the little god,
His tune he whistled, and his wheat he sow`d;
Then sat and laugh`d, and to the skies above
Raising his eye, he thus insulted Jove:
Lay by your hail, your hurtful storms restrain,
And as I bid you let it shine or rain,
Else you again beneath my yoke shall bow,
Feel the sharp goad, and draw the servile plough;
What once Europa was Nannette is now.
