Vise
 (Sung text for setting by F. Kunzen)
 See original
Language: Danish (Dansk) 
Lad os drikke 
Vinen, vi som kan; 
Mangen Stakkel har den ikke, 
Men måe drikke Vand. 

Værer glade! 
Venner samles her; 
Ynker den, som måe forlade 
Hver, som var ham kjær. 

Nyd hver Glæde, 
Før den svinder hen!  
Du for seent da måe begræde, 
Du miskjendte den. 

Venskab sanker 
Os til Glæde her; 
Bort med alle mørke Tanker! 
Glæde Målet er.  

Ingen svige 
Dette ædle Mål! 
For hver Broder og hans Pige 
Tømmes denne Skål.
