CUPID'S DECADENCE.
In ancient days, when all was young,
And love and hope tera rifo, Dan Cupid fed on instic face, And lived a country life.
He rose hetimes at break of day,
And round the country harried; Epstirring bearts that were unwed, And soothing down the married.
But then, on wider mischief bent,
fo bied him to the city;
And finding.much to suit his taabo,
He stayed there —more's the pity, ?
Mon built him there a goblen house,
Bedight with golden stará ; They fosted him on golden grain,
And wine in golden jara,
They draped his pretty nakedness
In richest cloth of gold,
-And sat him up in by iness,
Where love was bought and sold.
And thus he lad a city life,
Forgetting his mativity ;
Since then he's gone from bad to worse,
From Cupid to cupidity
