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 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.

А rose will bloom, It then will fade:
so does a youth, so does the fairest maid
