O MORES!, by                    
First Line: Cupid's bow is lying broken
Last Line: Arrows must be diamond-tipped.
Subject(s): Cupid; Eros


CUPID'S bow is lying broken,
Fallen on the ground,
And his arrows all with blunted
Points are strewn around.
For to reach our modern hearts
Powerless are the blind god's darts,
From his rosy shoulders stripped;
Since, to pierce the breasts so cold,
Shafts must always be of gold,
Arrows must be diamond-tipped.
