Original text and translations
What is life and all its pride,
If love and pleasure be denied?
Snatch me hence ye fates whene'er
The am'rous bliss I cease to share.
O let us crop each fragrant flow'r
While youth and vigour give us pow'r;
For frozen age will soon destroy
The pow'r to give and take a joy.
