| Yes be the glorious revel mine | B |
| Where humor sparkles from the wine | B |
| Around me let the youthful choir | C |
| Respond to my enlivening lyre | D |
| And while the red cup foams along | E |
| Mingle in soul as well as song | E |
| Then while I sit with flowerets crowned | F |
| To regulate the goblets round | F |
| Let but the nymph our banquet's pride | G |
| Be seated smiling by my side | G |
| And earth has not a gift or power | C |
| That I would envy in that hour | C |
| Envy oh never let its blight | H |
| Touch the gay hearts met here tonight | H |
| Far hence be slander's sidelong wounds | I |
| Nor harsh dispute nor discord's sounds | J |
| Disturb a scene where all should be | K |
| Attuned to peace and harmony | K |

| Come let us hear the harp's gay note | L |
| Upon the breeze inspiring float | L |
| While round us kindling into love | M |
| Young maidens through the light dance move | N |
| Thus blest with mirth and love and peace | O |
| Sure such a life should never cease | O |
