Advice to Youth

(For Guillaume)

SINCE little time is granted hereFor pride in pain or play,Since blood soon cools before that FearThat makes our prowess clay,If lips to kiss are freely met,Lad, be not proud nor shy;There are no lips where men forget,And undesiring lie.

SINCE little time is granted here

For pride in pain or play,

Since blood soon cools before that Fear

That makes our prowess clay,

If lips to kiss are freely met,

Lad, be not proud nor shy;

There are no lips where men forget,

And undesiring lie.
