Thomasina Ross translation

The following is an anacreontic song by this author:—

De tus rubios cabellos, Dorida ingrata mia, hizo el amor la cuerda para el arco homicida. A hora veras sí burlas de mi poder, decia: y tomando un flecha quiso a mì dirigirla. Yo le dije: muchacho arco y harpon retira: con esas nuevas armas, quién hay que te resista?
