Lucescit jam o socii
Language: Latin
Available translation(s): ENG
Lucescit jam o socii, Nous tardons trop à dejuner, Habemus tantum ocii Que ferious nous jusque au diner? Jam parata sunt omnia, Mettons nous à table en bon heur. Si quis quaeret, Quare? Quia Trop juner aporte douleur. Nunc bibamus non segniter, C'est trop manger sans boyrevun coup. Bibamus bis, ter, & quater, Puis chanterons Or sus a coup. Non habentes pecuniam, L'hoste dira ce qu'il voudra, Ite per aliam viam, On le payra quand on pourra.
