Have a rouse before the morn;
Every minute dies a man,
Every minute one is born.

A simple maiden in her flower
Is worth a hundred coats of arms.

But women, worst and best, as heaven and hell.
For men, at most, differ as heaven and earth;
But women, worst and best, as heaven and hell.
Like summer tempest came her tears:
Sweet my child, I live for thee.
Like summer tempest came her tears:
Sweet my child, I live for thee.
