Young man's dream/Now or Never

NOW or NEVER.

TO make the most of fleeting time,
should be our great endeavour ;
For love we both are in our prime,
the time is now or never.

A thousand charms around you play,
no girl more bright or clever;
Then let us both agree to-day,
to-morrow will be never.

I ne'er shall be a better man,
I burn with love’s high fever ;
Pray now behind, I know you can ;
you must not answer Never.

Whilst thus you Chloe turn aside,
you frustrate’my endeavour ;
That face will fade.come down that pride,
your time is now or never.

Ere for yourself or me too late,
say now you are mine for ever;
I may be snatch’d by Care or Fate,
my time is Now or Never,
