Is Venus frowning...? 
Why is her beauty fading? 
Monalisa's weeping! 
She's no longer smiling. 

"Why" I said, "are these happening?" 
Cupid says, "I struck my bow,
and Danna's coming." 

"Who is She?"  as I inquired. 
"Beats me . . . !?" Cupid replied. 

So I went around, 
And questioned every man I found. 
But no one dared speak a sound, 
They too are lost and dumbfound. 

Now, their silence is too deafening, 
 I could only hear the sound of my heart beating. 

"Who is this woman?" I cried, 
"I can no longer stand being mystified." 
The goddesses too are frantic and petrified. 
Something about her made them so terrified. 

Then I heard a distant sound. 
A thousand chariots pounding the ground! 
Roundabout atop a small grassy mound, 
A Lady so fair with shining knights all around. 

Caught by surprise, I was aghast and breathless. 
Now I know why the goddesses are restless. 
She is a beauty --- breathtaking and flawless! 

Then Cupid struck his arrow but missed the bow. 
It hit me instead and struck me low. 
"Why . . ." I said, "did you do that for?" 
"I didn't mean to" he replied feeling very sore. 

So I moved closer to where this Lady is, 
But her knights won't let me, 
for she's the king's misses. 

They warned, "Don't even dare, 
or you'll be in a lot of mess." 
"Stay away and mind your own business." 

So I hushed along, feeling helpless. 
I blamed Cupid for his carelessness. 
Now my heart is caught in a snare, 
By the charm of this Lady so Fair. 
The envy of goddesses' lair, 
Is also causing me so much despair. 

Lay me no blame! 
Lay me no blame! 
If too often I whisper her name. 
I'm struck with Cupid's arrow 
I'm stuck with nothing but Love's sorrow!
