And Rejected is his Passion (Roundel)
January 19, 2012
Insult sparks revenge in Cupid
Arrows of love one lead and one gold
Now of love, the poor girl is rid
And rejected is his passion.
He follows and coos and wishes to hold
But the maiden runs for the arrow forbid
Even if her father told.
But passion sends Apollo for his love is not hid
Cursed the body which Paneus remold
Farewell she bid
And rejected is his passion

HaHa, Do not mess with winged children! Unrequited love is so sad.
On one side this legend tells us not to mess with winged-children who have magic bows, but also mentions the sexual harassment from Gods thereby showing once again how powerless a human can be.
