What is a youth?
Impetuous fire. 
What is a maid?
Ice and desire. 
The world wags on... 
А 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 caper, sing me the song!
Death [bad word] soon to hush us along. 
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, 
Love is the pastime, it never will pall. 
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall, 
Cupid [bad word] us all. 

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