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.
