EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 13. CUPID IS A WARRIOR by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: LOVERS ARE SKILLED IN ALL THE ART OF WARS
Last Line: CONCEIVED HIS HUMOUR IN HER SECRET SPORT.
Subject(s): FIGHTS; LOVE;

LOVERS are skilled in all the art of wars,
Sieges, alarms, ent'ring by storm the fort,
As if Love's mother, when she played with Mars,
Conceived his humour in her secret sport.
