/ 1. "There is no God," one said, / And love is lust; / When I am dead I'm _dead_, / And all is dust.
/ "Be merry while you can / Before you're gray; / With some wild courtesan / Drink care away."
/ 2. One said, "A God there is, / And God is love; / Death is not _death_, but bliss, / And life above.
/ "Above all flesh is mind; / And faith and truth / God's gifts to poor mankind / That make life youth."
/ 3. One from a harlot's side / Arose at morn; / One cursing God had died / That night forlorn.
