If it be shame to love a pretty woman
28
If it be shame to love a pretty woman,
Then shameful loving is a pretty thing.
And of all things the most divinely human
Is this:—Love purifies life's Fountain Spring;
And he who has not quaffed that fount is no man—
I'd rather be a lover than a king.
And then, preach as we will or may, we'll find
That Cupid, dear young god, is sometimes blind.
If it be shame to love a pretty woman,
Then shameful loving is a pretty thing.
And of all things the most divinely human
Is this:—Love purifies life's Fountain Spring;
And he who has not quaffed that fount is no man—
I'd rather be a lover than a king.
And then, preach as we will or may, we'll find
That Cupid, dear young god, is sometimes blind.
