to your rude health,

Song: Mortals, learn your lives to measure not by...

by Maurice Greene . A Catch for Three voices , in D minor
đť„´ (Common time), Vivace

Text:

Mortals, learn your lives to measure
not by length of time, but pleasure,
soon your spring must have a fall,
losing youth is losing all,
then you’ll ask, but none will give,
you may linger, but not live.
