Answer:

He burnt un’wares his wings, and cannot fly away.

Step-by-step explanation:

Cupid flew into the poetic speaker's heart and it was on fire already because he is hopelessly on love, so Cupid burnt his wings on that fire and got stuck there. Having the god of love trapped in your heart will keep you hopelessly in love for sure!
