Aim high, to live high

Having chased a bull is more a valour

Than capturing a mule.

Having aimed at a lion is more chivalrous

Than maiming a hare.

Having lost to an angel is far better

Than courting a devil.

To win over the heart of the virtuous is manly rather

Than being with the randy woman.

To dive for a pearl is a better venture

Than fishing from the bank.

So I prefer losing you to getting any.

I prefer loving you to being loved by any.
