Bibula cantilena
 (Sung text for setting by J. Novák)
 See original
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  ENG
Mihi est propositum in taberna mori,
Ut sint vina proxima morientis ori,
Tunc cantabunt laetius Angelorum chori,
"Sit deus propitius huic potatori."

Poculis accenditur animi lucerna,
Cor imbutum nectare volat ad superna,
Mihi sapit dulcius vinum de taberna
Quam quod aqua miscuit præsulis pincerna.

 ... 

Tales versus facio quale vinum bibo ;
Nihil possum scribere nisi sumpto cibo,
Nihil valet penitus quod jejunus scribo,
Nasonem post calicem carmine præibo.

    Set to music by Jan Novák (1921 - 1984), "Bibula cantilena", stanza 1,2,5, from Cantica latina, no. 29
