1. The times are corrupt, and its people too
I grieve for it and its people

2. Its evils amongst us have multiplied
For its corruption and ignorance

3. It has uncovered disgrace
Rushing to indulge in it

4. Passion's guide leads them
Through its rugged and smooth terrain

5. One courts another
Each smitten with foolishness

6. He weaves his flirtations
Woe to him and his flirtations
