| Away away ye men of rules | B |
| What have I do with schools | B |
| They'd make me learn they'd make me think | C |
| But would they make me love and drink | C |
| Teach me this and let me swim | D |
| My soul upon the goblet's brim | D |
| Teach me this and let me twine | E |
| Some fond responsive heart to mine | E |
| For age begins to blanch my brow | F |
| I've time for naught but pleasure now | F |

| Fly and cool my goblet's glow | G |
| At yonder fountain's gelid flow | G |
| I'll quaff my boy and calmly sink | C |
| This soul to slumber as I drink | C |
| Soon too soon my jocund slave | H |
| You'll deck your master's grassy grave | H |
| And there's an end for ah you know | G |
| They drink but little wine below | G |
