What can be sweeter than honey, sir?
(Asked the lion of the man);
Bees collecting from larkspur,
They work as intent as they can.
Building a waxen honeycomb,
Forming a nectarous vat,
Making a nest in their home-sweet-home...
What could be sweeter than that?
What is as strong as a lion?
(Asked the queen bee of the man);
A strength which is equal to iron,
A force to dispel any plan.
Power to challenge his foes ~
An abundance of courage in store;
Puissance from his head to his toes
Endorsed by the might of his roar.
So what could be sweeter than sweet?
Asked Samson to thirty more men;
And when can a lion be beat?
He inquired of the one score and ten.
But if sweeter than honey is love,
With homage, devotion and trust;
The lion\'s brawn can\'t be above
The igneous might of man\'s lust.
