Quick we have but a secondA
Fill round the cup while you mayB
For time the churl hath beckon'dA
And we must away awayB
Grasp the pleasure that's flyingC
For oh not Orpheus' strainD
Could keep sweet hours from dyingC
Or charm them to life againE
Then quick we have but a secondA
Fill round the cup while you mayB
For Time the churl hath beckon'dA
And we must away awayB
-
See the glass how it flushesF
Like some young Hebe's lipG
And half meets thine and blushesH
That thou shouldst delay to sipG
Shame oh shame unto theeI
If ever thou see'st that dayB
When a cup or lip shall woo theeI
And turn untouch'd awayB
Then quick we have but a secondA
Fill round fill round while you mayB
For Time the churl hath beckon'dA
And we must away awayB
