Woman wants monogamy; 
Man delights in novelty. 
Love is woman's moon and sun; 
Man has other forms of fun. 
Woman lives but in her lord; 
Count to ten, and man is bored. 
With this the gist and sum of it, 
What earthly good can come of it? 

 
La femme veut monogamy; Plaisirs d'homme dans la nouveauté. L'amour 
est la lune et le soleil de la femme; L'homme a d'autres formes 
d'amusement. Les vies de femme mais dans son seigneur; Compter à 
dix, et l'homme s'ennuie. Avec ceci le gist et la somme de lui, quel 
bon bidon terrestre viennent de lui ? 

 
Frau wünscht monogamy; Mannfreuden in der Neuheit. Liebe ist Mond und 
Sonne der Frau; Mann hat andere Formen des Spaßes. Frauleben aber in 
ihrem Lord; Bis 10 zählen und Mann wird gebohrt. Mit diesem kommen 
der Kern und die Summe von ihm, welche earthly gute Dose von 
ihr? 

 
A mulher quer monogamy; Prazeres do homem no novelty. O amor é lua e 
sol da mulher; O homem tem outros formulários do divertimento. Vidas 
da mulher mas em seu senhor; Contar a dez, e o homem é furado. Com 
este o gist e a soma dele, que lata boa earthly vêm dela? 

 
La mujer desea monogamy; Placeres del hombre en novedad. El amor es 
luna y sol de la mujer; El hombre tiene otras formas de diversión. 
Vidas de la mujer pero en su señor; Contar a diez, y aburren al 
hombre. ¿Con esto el gist y la suma de él, qué buena lata terrenal 
vienen de ella?
