Little Cupid one day o'er a myrtle bough stray'd
And among the sweet blossoms he wantonly play'd
Plucking many a leaf from buds of the tree,
He felt that his finger was stung by a Bee.
Cupid then asks for "revenge on the mischievous bee" from his mother, Venus. The Universal Magazine of Knowledge and Pleasure (London, 1807, p. 446) reviewed it:
The song before us has certainly a pleasing melody, and is well adapted to the piano-forte, but we think it has not a strict claim to originality. The words are translated from Anacreon, and possess (as a translation) considerable merit.
The song was popular and appears in collections and song-sheets on both sides of the Atlantic through the mid-19th century.
