<poem>
Love, shooting at another,
he miss'd that mark and chanced to hit his mother;
but as the Lady fainted,
god Mars did start and therewith was attainted;
When Vulcan saw the shot did fret him,
he curs'd the boy and swore that he would beat him.

Love, shooting at another,
he miss'd that mark and chanced to hit his mother;
but as the Lady fainted,
god Mars did start and therewith was attainted;
When Vulcan saw the shot did fret him,
he curs'd the boy and swore that he would beat him.
