STRATEGY, by CHARLES KELLOGG FIELD
First Line: Some, cupid kills with arrows
Last Line: Poison-oak.
Subject(s): Poisons & Poisoning
First Line: Some, cupid kills with arrows
Last Line: Poison-oak.
Subject(s): Poisons & Poisoning
SOME, Cupid kills with arrows,
Some, with traps;
But this spring the little rascal
Found, perhaps,
That he needed both to slay me;
So he laid a cunning snare
On the hillside, and he hid it
In a lot of maidenhair;
And I doubt not he is laughing
At the joke,
For he made his arrows out of
Poison-oak.
