11Once and for all, let us now go our separate ways,For a good while we have been apart,
22My dear ladies and gentlemen, so fine and fair.my dear ladies and gentlemen,
33Enough of playing out the nuptial ode,rather like a separation in marriage,
44Our delights were just too cloyingly sweet.and then, our delights were too sweet.

66No remorse, no real regrets, no disaster!No remorse, no real regret, no disaster!
77How frightful to consider the likenessIt is frightening to contemplate the affinities
88We bore to those sheepwe share with the sheep

1111We were a little too absurdWe were a little too absurd
1212With our affected looks, as though butter would scarcely melt in our mouths.with our expressions as though butter would scarcely melt in our mouths.

1414And he is right! After all, this is a young God.and he was right! And this is a young God.

1616And so, I say once again, let us go our separate ways.We have been apart, I tell you once more.
1717O, let our once overly bleating hearts,O, that our overly bleating hearts,
1818From this day forth, cry out just as clamorouslyfrom this day forth, cry out just as clamorously
1919To set off for Sodom and Gomorrah!to set off for Sodom and Gomorrah!
