The woman was still young
And her days in flower
A crowd of gallant swarm amound her
Which I have no desire

I will draw revenue from her
No one fattens in poverty
Each lives on what he can has

they came in numbers to my house
Sentimentalist, dandies & rich ones.
My wife was courteous to all
The old sighed to her from their heart
The dandies who vain-glorious
The rich paid.
Fortune was propitious
I had ducats – & amusement
Nothing has embarrassed me
Not the of idlers nor malice & temper

Ah! how the young years passed erroneously
It is only for a short time

At last with time all ceases
