What is a youth Impetuous fire What is a maid Ice and desire The world wags on A rose will bloom It then will fade So does the youth So does the fairest maid Comes a time when one sweet smile Hasn't seasoned for awhile Then loves in loves with me Some they only think to marry Other will tease and terry Mine is the very best perry Cupid he rules us all Caper the caper sing me the song Death will come soon to hush us along Sweeter than honey,bitter than gull Love is the past time that will never pull Sweeter than honey, bitter than gull Cupid he rules us all A rose will bloom,it then will fade So does the youth,so does the fairest maid
