Slaves are they that heap up mountains,
Slaves are they that heap up mountains,
Still desiring more and more!
Still desiring more and more!
Line 31: Line 29:
Fill it up unto the brim!
Fill it up unto the brim!
For then methinks our wits grow quicker,
For then methinks our wits grow quicker,
When our brains in liquor swim.
When our brains in liquor swim.}}

Slaves are they that heap up mountains,
Still desiring more and more!
We’ll carouse in Bacchus’ fountains,
Never dreaming to be poor.
Give us then a cup of liquor,
Fill it up unto the brim!
For then methinks our wits grow quicker,
When our brains in liquor swim.
