UPON CUPID (2), by                 Poet Analysis     Poet's Biography
First Line: Love, like a gypsie, lately came
Last Line: Though here the princely poet.
Subject(s): Love


Love, like a Gypsie, lately came;
And did me much importune
To see my hand; that by the same
He might fore-tell my Fortune.

He saw my Palme; and then, said he,
I tell thee, by this score here;
That thou, within few months, shalt be
The youthfull Prince D'Amour here.

I smil'd; and bade him once more prove,
And by some crosse-line show it;
That I co'd ne'r be Prince of Love,
Though here the Princely Poet.
