Bibula cantilena
Language: Latin
Meum 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 praesulis pincerna. tales versus facio, quale vinum bibo; nihil possum facere, nisi sumpto cibo. nihil valent penitus quae ieiunus scribo: Nasonem post calicem carmine praeibo.
