[V. Pleasure]

Pleasure, is a wanton thing

Pleasure, is a wanton thing, When old and young doe dance and spring, Pleasure, is a wanton thing, When old and young, doe dance and spring, Pleasure it is that most desire, And yet tis but a fooles hire. Pleasure it is that most desire, And yet tis but a fooles hire.
