Lyrics: Horace
Wherefore burn with vain desires?
Few the things that life requires;
Youth with rapid swiftness flies,
Beauty's blossom quickly dies.
Thus, beneath this lofty shade,
Thus, in careless freedom laid;
While we are with roses crown'd,
Let the cheerful bowl go round.
Wherefore burn with vain desires?
Few the things that life requires;
Youth with rapid swiftness flies,
Beauty's blossom quickly dies.
Thus, beneath this lofty shade,
Thus, in careless freedom laid;
While we are with roses crown'd,
Let the cheerful bowl go round.
