CELESTE

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 Celeste;

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,

Celeste says I deserve no more;

I take revenge on dear Celeste,

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.
