| Description |
The man's torso is a barrel of lager that shields him from cupid's arrows. His limbs are covered with armor, and his face
is also shaped like a barrel. The border features matches, a heart-shaped beet, and cherubs playing tennis and tug o' war.
The label on the matchbox reads "Red-headed matches go off easy," and the beet is marked "D.B." [i.e. "dead beat" or "dead
beet"]. "Dutchmen" in the verse may refer to either Dutch or German ("Deutsche") men.

| Notes |
Text: Little Cupid, don't be stupid, / Thus your darts to shoot away / At the Dutchmen, for on such men / Lost all your wily
play, / As they swagger, full of lager, Up and down the cellar-way.
