I am a man Let every one	A
Who is a man too spring	B
With joy beneath God's shining sun	A
And leap on high and sing	B
	-
To God's own image fair on earth	C
Its stamp I've power to show	D
Down to the front where heaven has birth	C
With boldness I dare go	D
	-
'Tis well that I both dare and can	E
When I a maiden see	F
A voice exclaims thou art a man	E
I kiss her tenderly	F
	-
And redder then the maiden grows	G
Her bodice seems too tight	H
That I'm a man the maiden knows	G
Her bodice therefore's tight	H
	-
Will she perchance for pity cry	I
If unawares she's caught	J
She finds that I'm a man then why	I
By her is pity sought	K
	-
I am a man and if alone	L
She sees me drawing near	M
I make the emperor's daughter run	A
Though ragged I appear	M
	-
This golden watchword wins the smile	N
Of many a princess fair	O
They call ye'd best look out the while	N
Ye gold laced fellows there	O
	-
That I'm a man is fully shown	L
Whene'er my lyre I sweep	P
It thunders out a glorious tone	L
It otherwise would creep	P
	-
The spirit that my veins now hold	Q
My manhood calls its brother	R
And both command like lions bold	Q
And fondly greet each other	R
	-
From out this same creative flood	S
From which we men have birth	C
Both godlike strength and genius bud	S
And everything of worth	C
	-
My talisman all tyrants hates	T
And strikes them to the ground	U
Or guides us gladly through life's gates	T
To where the dead are found	U
	-
E'en Pompey at Pharsalia's fight	H
My talisman o'erthrew	R
On German sand it hurled with might	H
Rome's sensual children too	V
	-
Didst see the Roman proud and stern	W
Sitting on Afric's shore	R
His eyes like Hecla seem to burn	W
And fiery flames outpour	R
	-
Then comes a frank and merry knave	X
And spreads it through the land	Y
Tell them that thou on Carthage's grave	X
Hast seen great Marius stand	Y
	-
Thus speaks the son of Rome with pride	Z
Still mighty in his fall	A2
He is a man and naught beside	Z
Before him tremble all	A2
	-
His grandsons afterwards began	E
Their portions to o'erthrow	R
And thought it well that every man	E
Should learn with grace to crow	R
	-
For shame for shame once more for shame	B2
The wretched ones they've even	C2
Squandered the tokens of their fame	B2
The choicest gifts of heaven	A
	-
God's counterfeit has sinfully	A2
Disgraced his form divine	D2
And in his vile humanity	F
Has wallowed like the swine	D2
	-
The face of earth each vainly treads	E2
Like gourds that boys in sport	F2
Have hollowed out to human heads	E2
With skulls whose brains are naught	K
	-
Like wine that by a chemist's art	G2
Is through retorts refined	H2
Their spirits to the deuce depart	G2
The phlegma's left behind	H2
	-
From every woman's face they fly	A2
Its very aspect dread	I2
And if they dared and could not why	A2
'Twere better they were dead	I2
	-
They shun all worthies when they can	E
Grief at their joy they prove	J2
The man who cannot make a man	E
A man can never love	K2
	-
The world I proudly wander o'er	R
And plume myself and sing	B
I am a man Whoe'er is more	R
Then leap on high and spring	B
