In the song from the Elizabethan play "Rosalind," the title character details the ways love torments her. In an extended simile, Rosalind compares love to a bee that "my heart doth sting". She threatens love with various punishments, imagining it as the boy-god Cupid who must be beaten "with many a rod". By poem's end, however, she determines that she would rather be tormented by love than by its absence.
