EMBLEMS OF LOVE: 19. THE HEART, LOVE'S BUTT by PHILIP AYRES

First Line: TEN THOUSAND TIMES I'VE FELT THE CRUEL SMART
Last Line: BE LEFT FOR THEE TO PROSECUTE THY SPORT.
Subject(s): ARCHERS & ARCHERY; BUTTOCK; LOVE; POSTERIOR; RUMP; REAR END; BEHIND;

TEN thousand times I've felt the cruel smart
Of thy drawn bow, as often more I court:
Till in thy quiver not one single dart
Be left for thee to prosecute thy sport.
