• For when we quaff the gen'rous bowl, Then sleep the sorrows of our soul. Let us drink the juice divine, The gift of Bacchus, god of wine. When I take wine, my cares go to rest.

    Anacreon: For when we quaff the gen'rous bowl,
Then sleep the sorrows of our soul.
 Let us drink the juice divine,
The gift of Bacchus, god of wine.
 When I take wine, my cares go to rest.
