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 awhile Then Love`s in love with me
Some may 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 task and it 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
