ON TYING DAPHNE'S SHOE by J. STUART BRYAN

First Line: TYING HER SHOE, I KNELT AT DAPHNE'S FEET
Last Line: CUPID HAD BOUND ME CAPTIVE IN HER BOWS.
Subject(s): CUPID; EROS;
TYING her shoe, I knelt at Daphne's feet;
My fumbling fingers found such service sweet,
And lingered o'er the task till, when I rose,
Cupid had bound me captive in her bows.
