| Cupids Golden Dart, Or; / A dainty Sonnet here is to be sold, / The like whereof was never sung nor told: / Of a brave Girl that had a bag of Gold, / Which she delivered into her Sweet-hearts hold. / And now they live together lovingly, / In joy, in peace, and true tranquility: / At first they seem'd to be at moral strife, / But in Conclusion were made Man and Wife. | |
