• What is the youth?

What is a youth?
Impetuous fire.
What is a maid?
Ice and desire.
The world wags on.

A rose will bloom,
it then will fade.
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid.

Comes a time when one sweet smile
Has its season for a while.
Then love`s in love with me.

Some they think only to marry,
Others will tease and tarry.
Mine is the very best parry,
Cupid he rules us all.

Caper the caper; sing me the song.
Death will come soon to hush us along.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Love is a pastime that never will pall.
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
Cupid he rules us all.

A rose will bloom, it then will fade.
So does a youth.
So does the fairest maid
