The day is symbolized by Cupid with his*' bow and arrow and a red heart;for on that day hearts are supposed to tip floating through the air. *'Qh the heart is a free and fetterless -? thing, A wave on the ocean, a bird on the ?wing." And tomorrow, no doubt will be full of them, and they wiU be pierced by the arrows that fly from Cttpid'<? bow. *Over the mountains and. over, tfce; waves, Under ^he fountains and under the graves, * - Under the floods that ai^e deepest, which Neptune obey; Over the rocks that are steepeat,' Love- will find out the way. -V vr-.jr / i" Some thing to lose him by having ; him confined}* And some do suppose him, poor ; thing to be blind; ; Byt if ever so close ye, wall him Do the best that you may Blind love, if so .ye call him, Will find out the way."
