What Is A Youth (Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet)

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 a youth, so does the fairest maid
Comes a time, when one sweet smile has it 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 he rules us all.
Caper the caper sing me the song
Death will come soon to hush us along
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Love is a past time that never will pall
Sweeter than honey and bitter as gall
Cupid he rules us all
A rose will bloom, it then will fade
So does a youth, so does the fairest maid
