Here you will find the Poem By Moschus of poet William Cowper
I slept when Venus enter'd: to my bed A Cupid in her beauteous hand she led, A bashful seeming boy, and thus she said: 'Shepherd, receive my little one! I bring An untaught love, whom thou must teach to sing.' She said, and left him. I, suspecting nought, Many a sweet strain my subtle pupil taught, How reed to reed Pan first with osier bound, How Pallas form'd the pipe of softest sound, How Hermes gave the lute, and how the quire Of Phoebus owe to Phoebus' self the lyre. Such were my themes; my themes nought heeded he But ditties sang of amorous sort to me. The pangs that mortals and immortals prove From Venus' influence and the darts of love. Thus was the teacher by the pupil taught; His lessons I retain'd, he mine forgot.
