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 do-o-o-oes 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
