Dan Cupid, of TO JANET WRITTEN ON THE FLY LEAF OF DE MUSSETs COMEDIES ET PROVERBES lO gift of old, of ring or book, But had a posy scrawled upon years ago the world forsookThis pretty mode, and modernsbrookNor chansonnette, nor sonnet; Yet one whose eyes have met your eyes Must hymn for very sadnessThose pools in which his reason it mistook them for the skies, And now lies drowned in gladness: And if you find within these books But tales of loves , blame not me, but blame your looks,Which sent my reason off the hooks. And set my heart a-beating.
