The story of Cupid and Psyche

Cupid has always been the little boy who mischie- vously brought love and passion to people though his bow and arrow. He was in reality the son of Aphrodite. As every one does in time, Cupid grew up and became what else but a mischievous man. At one point in time Aphrodite sent Cupid down to earth to teach a lesson of humility to an earth maiden called Psyche. Know being told that she was.aibeautiful

O my Luve’s like a red, red rose

That’s newly sprung in June: O my Luve’s like the melodie That’s sweetly played in tune.

As fair art thou, my bonnie lass,

So deep in luve am I:

And I will luve thee still, my dear, Till a’ the seas gang dry:

Till a’ ther seas gang dry, my Dear. And the rocks melt wi’ the sun: | I will luve thee still, my dear,

While the sands o’ life shall run. And fare thee weel, my only Luve! And fare thee weel awhile!

‘And I will come again, my Luve, Tho’ it were ten thousand mile.

Robert Burns
