🎶 How I laughed like a lord when my friend said beware, 🎶 🎶 Of the flush in her cheek, and the flower in her hair. 🎶 🎶 But I’m not laughing now, for my friends warned me well. 🎶 🎶 Though she promised me Heaven, she sent me to Hell. 🎶 🎶 I’m no more a sinner than any man here, 🎶 🎶 I’m no less a saint than the priest at God’s ear. 🎶 🎶 But now I am snared, they will punish me well 🎶 🎶 With a ladder to Heaven and a rope down to Hell. 🎶 🎶 Will there no mercy be for a boy led adrift 🎶 🎶 By the feel of warm lips or the flash of a shift. 🎶 🎶 But if he who passed judgment knows nothing of lust, 🎶 🎶 Then he who’d pass judgment’s no man I would trust. 🎶
