| Fill me boy as deep a draught | B |
| As e'er was filled as e'er was quaffed | B |
| But let the water amply flow | C |
| To cool the grape's intemperate glow | C |
| Let not the fiery god be single | D |
| But with the nymphs in union mingle | D |
| For though the bowl's the grave of sadness | E |
| Ne'er let it be the birth of madness | E |
| No banish from our board tonight | B |
| The revelries of rude delight | B |
| To Scythians leave these wild excesses | F |
| Ours be the joy that soothes and blesses | F |
| And while the temperate bowl we wreathe | G |
| In concert let our voices breathe | G |
| Beguiling every hour along | H |
| With harmony of soul and song | H |
