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 a fairest maid;
Comes a time when one sweet smile,
Has its season for awhile;
Then loves in love with me;
Some may think only to marry,
Other 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 as bitter as gall,
Love is the pasttime that will never pall,
Sweeter than honey as bitter as gall;
Cupid he rules us all.
Repeat:
A rose will bloom; it then will fade
So does a youth; so does the fairest maid.
