JAMES THE FOURTH: CUPID, by ROBERT GREENE Poet's Biography First Line: I heard a shepherd sing Last Line: If I would like the lad that so infects. Subject(s): Cupid; Hearts; Love; Eros | ||||||||
Ida ... I heard a shepherd sing, That like a bee, Love hath a little sting: He lurks in flowers, he percheth on the trees; He on king's pillows bends his pretty knees: The boy is blind, but when he will not spy He hath a leaded foot, and wings to fly: Beshrew me yet, for all these strange effects If I would like the lad that so infects. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...MESSAGE FROM THE SLEEPER AT HELL'S MOUTH: 6.
