Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Man of Pleasure The cynic smiles - the preacher grieves, But Pleasure keeps her ancient sway, Man loves, laughs, squanders, and deceives, As when poor Villon penned his Lay. We have them yet, the folk he sung - The "cuyderaulx d´amour transis," The fair ones, laughter-loving, young, With saucy glance and morals free. Lutetia still with laughter rings, "Il n´est hon bec que de Paris"; His gold the careless gallant flings "Tout aux tavernes et aux files." The actors change, the play´s the same - A tragic farce with moments gay, Its sentiment more false and lame Mayhap than in a simpler day. And Fate still beckons off the stage, When wearied of their mumming folly, Each of the mountebanks in turn - Heeds not their joy or melancholy.
