| Anacreon | E |
| To grace the frantic Thyrse | D |
| And having drunk we raise a shout | F |
| Throughout | F |
| To praise his verse | D |
| - | |
| Then cause we Horace to be read | G |
| Which sung or said | G |
| A goblet to the brim | H |
| Of lyric wine both swell'd and crown'd | I |
| Around | I |
| We quaff to him | H |

| Thus thus we live and spend the hours | D |
| In wine and flowers | D |
| And make the frolic year | J |
| The month the week the instant day | K |
| To stay | K |
| The longer here | L |

| Come then brave Knight and see the cell | M |
| Wherein I dwell | M |
| And my enchantments too | N |
| Which love and noble freedom is | D |
| And this | D |
| Shall fetter you | N |

| Take horse and come or be so kind | O |
| To send your mind | O |
| Though but in numbers few | N |
| And I shall think I have the heart | P |
| Or part | P |
| Of Clipsby Crew | N |
