Rhyme Scheme: ABCDBEFFE GHIJKKLMLM NENEOO PQRQSTTET| O gracious jar my friend my twin | A |
| Born at the time when I was born | B |
| Whether tomfoolery you inspire | C |
| Or animate with love's desire | D |
| Or flame the soul with bitter scorn | B |
| Or lull to sleep O jar of mine | E |
| Come from your place this festal day | F |
| Corvinus hither wends his way | F |
| And there's demand for wine | E |
| - | |
| Corvinus is the sort of man | G |
| Who dotes on tedious argument | H |
| An advocate his ponderous pate | I |
| Is full of Blackstone and of Kent | J |
| Yet not insensible is he | K |
| O genial Massic flood to thee | K |
| Why even Cato used to take | L |
| A modest surreptitious nip | M |
| At meal times for his stomach's sake | L |
| Or to forefend la grippe | M |
| - | |
| How dost thou melt the stoniest hearts | N |
| And bare the cruel knave's design | E |
| How through thy fascinating arts | N |
| We discount Hope O gracious wine | E |
| And passing rich the poor man feels | O |
| As through his veins thy affluence steals | O |
| - | |
| Now prithee make us frisk and sing | P |
| And plot full many a naughty plot | Q |
| With damsels fair nor shall we care | R |
| Whether school keeps or not | Q |
| And whilst thy charms hold out to burn | S |
| We shall not deign to go to bed | T |
| But we shall paint creation red | T |
| So fill sweet wine this friend of mine | E |
| My lawyer friend as aforesaid | T |
