What is a youth? Impetuous fire. 
What is a maid? Ice and desire. 
The world wags on.... 
rose will bloom, 
It then will fade: 
so does a youth, so does the fairest maid.  [bad word] 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 [bad word] us all. 

Caper the cape, but sing me the song. 
Death [bad word] 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 [bad word] us all.
