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. | |||

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.
