Come let us fuddle all our noses,
Drink ourselves quite out of debt.

When grim Death comes looking for us,
We are roving o’er our bowls:
Bacchus joining in the chorus
Death, begone here’s nought but souls.

God-like Bacchus thus commanding,
Trembling death away shall fly,
Ever after, understanding
Drinking souls can never die.
