[00:00.07]What is a youth?
[00:05.98]Impetuous fire.
[00:10.20]What is a maid?
[00:14.72]Ice and desire.
[00:19.50]The world wags on
[00:24.50]A rose will bloom,
[00:29.33]It then will fade
[00:35.37]So does a youth.
[00:43.94]So does the fairest maid.
[00:57.13]Comes a time when one sweet smile
[01:01.79]Has it's season for awhile
[01:06.27]Then Love's in love with me
[01:11.60]Some may think only to marry.
[01:14.79]Others will tease and tarry.
[01:17.82]Mine is the very best parry,
[01:20.80]Cupid he rules us all.
[01:23.95]Caper the caper; sing me the song
[01:27.04]Death will come soon to hush us along
[01:30.04]Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
[01:33.12]Love is a pass-time that never will pall.
[01:36.66]Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall,
[01:39.19]Cupid he rules us all.
[02:06.71]A rose will bloom, it then will fade.
[02:18.27]So does a youth.
[02:28.06]So does the fairest maid.
