Music: Igor Stravinsky
Laughter and light and all charms that endear,
all that dazzles or dins,
wisdom and wit shall adorn the career of him
who can play and who wins.
Heart, you are happy,
yet why should a tear
dim our joyous designs?
Fortune so swift
and so easy, I fear,
may only encourage his sins.
Be well advised.
Be always near!
Farewell!
The progress of a rake begins.
