THE WISH OF A YOUNG STAR

If I could but attain all my wish
I'd have each day, one wholesome dish
A glass of port with good old beer
Some few friends and a beautiful girls
That truly cares

A little garden in some clean town,
tobacco, pips, and sigaret so I won't be
feeling down.

To keep content and peace a brace through
Life.

The neighboring poor should freely share
Whatever I could afford to spare

To own not only a house but 10
Estate
Maybe with wooden doors but iron gates

With such houses, whence comes any regret
I would envy not the worldly great

My son's and daughter wholly bless
Let the people near and afar try
In vain
let them seek worldly praise filled with pains

But unnoticely I would live and die
For such life is hard to try
But such a life, I'll wish to live.

But since fortune has not thought
Fit to place me in such affluence,
Estate, beautiful girl, iron gate, and a
big garden

Each virtue to attain, I will try
And from each day struggles and hustle
I will fly
