Venus, in sport, to please therewith her dear
CLXXII
Venus, in sport, to please therewith her dear,
Did on the helm of mighty Mars the red.
His spear she took; his targe she might not steer.
She looked as though her foes should all be dead,
So wantonly she frowneth with her cheer.
Priapus gan smile and said, " Do way for dread,
Do way, madam, these weapons great and grim.
I, I for you am weapon fit and trim."
