i hath lost mine own libido out by the gazebo
the lady hath left me

the lady hast hath followed the travelling lamp
gone west
from the f'rmal did rise garden.

I have translated this into modern English:
I lost my Libido out by the gazebo
she left me
with William D'Isfunction.

Now Willy's alright
if you like a fight
larded with
macho rumbunction.
My Libido has gone
she has followed the sun
gone west
from the formal rose garden.
I am left limp...
