Cupid and the bard

Принцалександр
God Cupid has appeared once before famed bard:
"Whose gentle female heart with, to reward you, tell me, singer?
For lyre playing art gods granted you this prize!"
Poet replied: "I do not want another loving heart,
The joy of being in arms of simple girls just isn't made to linger.
I want to feel Aphrodite's affection for the price!"

The deity has thrown to the ground magic bow and arrow in the angst:
"Desire to possess Venus's body is fatal for the poet's soul.
Since in the face of earthly woman you don't see a goddess's call,
Being ruled by whim of outrageous pride, Your talent you've axed!"
