WHAT HAVE WE WITH DAY TO DO?
By the gaily circling glass,
We can see how minutes pass.
By the hollow cask we’re told
How the waning night grows old.
Soon, too soon, the busy day
Drives us from our sport away,
What have we with day to do?
Sons of are, ’twas made for you!
By the silence of the owl,
By the chirping on the thorn,
By the butts thas empty roll,
We foretel the approach of morn.
Fill, then, fill the vacant glass,
Let no precious moment slip;
Flout the moralizing ass,
Joys find entrance by the lip.
