Ah! Cupid, Meddlesome Boy! 1894 'Prince Ananias'

James Pitt-Payne, London UK - 16 Feb 2004

Come, Venus and Hebe,
adorn my bark and float with me:
Enterpe thy lute bring,
and bid the sirens to me sing,
and bid the sirens to me sing.
With Bacchus for good cheer
and Momus gay the craft to steer;
Take Cupid? Nay nay boy
a shaft of thine would wreck my joy,
a shaft of thine fair boy
would wreck my joy,
my pleasure love shall not destroy.

Ah! Cupid, meddlesome boy, good bye!
My heart you'll never annoy, don't try!
I sail with pleasures throng,
Hail! mirth and beauty, wine and song,

Ah! Cupid, meddlesome boy, good bye!
My heart you'll never annoy, don't try!
I sail with pleasures throng,
Hail! mirth and beauty, wine and song.

Ah! Cupid, meddlesome boy, good bye!
My heart you'll never annoy, don't try!
I sail with pleasures throng,
Hail! mirth and beauty, wine and song,

Ah! Cupid, meddlesome boy, good bye!
My heart you'll never annoy, don't try!
I sail with pleasures throng,
Hail! mirth and beauty, wine and song.
