[Ansem - Seeker of Darkness]

Not all of these are mine, I'm just posting my fave. ^_^

Invitation to Youth

Take your pleasure, dance and play,
Each with other while ye may;
Youth is nimble, full of grace;
Age is lame, of tardy pace.

We the wars of love sould wage,
Who are yet of tender age;
'Neath the tents of Venus dwell
All the joys that youth loves well.

Young men kindle heart's desire;
You may liken them to firel
Old men frighten love away
With cold frost and dry decay

[Ansem - Seeker of Darkness]

The Fire of Love

The fire of love in youthful blood,
Like what is kindled in brushwood,
But for a moment burns;

Yet in that moment make a mighty noise;
It crackles, and to vapor turns,
And soon itself destroys

But when crept into aged veins
It slowly burns and then long remains
And with a silent heat,
Like fire in logs, it glows and warms them long;
And though the flame be not so great,
Yet the heat is strong
