Cleste

Topics: classic

Of sweethearts I have had a score,         And time may bring as many more;      Tho' I remember all the rest,         Just now I worship dear Cleste;      Hers may not be the greatest love,         But ah! it is the latest love.             For little Cupid's never stupid,              As I've found out;             And love is truest when 'tis newest,              Beyond a doubt, beyond a doubt.      Of sweethearts I have had a score,         Cleste says I deserve no more;      I take revenge on dear Cleste,         By telling her I love her best;      Hers may not be the greatest love,         But ah! it is the latest love.             For little Cupid's never stupid,              As I've found out;             And love is truest when 'tis newest,              Beyond a doubt, beyond a doubt.
