’Tis decided, thou must know.
Hear life’s jingle! join the throng;
Youth and pleasure stay not long.
With shades of eve came other dancers gay,
Their smiles enticing young and old away;
As in and out about the streets they roamed,
They joked and sang while many a goblet foamed:
On our dress of spotless white
We are wreathing garlands bright;
And will sing, kiss, sip,
