Cupiditas

Then greedy Cupid, looking to expand
Th'apartments he had built within our hearts
Caused us to come together hand in hand
That he might pulverize us with more darts.
And doing so, endeavored to increase
Our great degree of love, and make us touch;
The which, I think, though his efforts should cease
Would have unaided worked itself as much.
And we became a union out of two
So he, expansive, might in double room
Putter about and do what he must do.
But oh, poor Cupid, for he made his doom:
When we embrace his exits sealed him tight
And he is trapped within us every night.
