“Cupid and my Campaspe play'd At cards for kisses - Cupid paid: He stakes his quiver, bow, and arrows, His mother's doves, and team of sparrows; Loses them too; then down he throws The coral of his lips, the rose Growing one's cheek (but none knows how); With these, the crystal of his brow, And then the dimple of his chin: All these did my Campaspe win.

What shall, alas! become of me?” KnowsLoveDonePlayEyeLastsMotherWinningLosesKnow HowGrowingTeamKissingPaidBlindRoseLipsCardsTheeHis EyesStakesBowsCheeksAlasArrowsCrystalsChinsBrowsDoveSparrowsCupidQuiverDimplesBows And Arrows Author:John Lyly
