by Julius Wolff (1834 - 1910)

Trinkmette
Language: German (Deutsch) 
Hat Einer zum Trinken nun triftigen Grund, 
Der sag' es und öffne den durstigen Mund
Und meld' es mit Ergo bibamus!
    Ergo bibamus!
So rufet den Wirth und den Küfer herein,
Damit wir am lange gelagerten Wein 
Erquicken uns neque sitiamus!
    Neque sitiamus!

Her haltet zur Kanne den räumigen Krug,
Auf daß wir ihn füllen zum gründlichen Zug
Fein säuberlich neque sitiamus!
    Neque sitiamus!
Hoch lebe das Liebchen, das Jeder sich denkt! 
Und habt ihr den Krug überm Haupte geschwenkt, 
Setzt nieder ihn, vas repleamus!
    Vas repleamus!

So segelt nur weiter mit Sinn und Verstand,
Habt immer am Henkel die hebende Hand,
Es lohnet sich vas repleamus!
    Vas repleamus!
Die Fässer im Keller, wem lassen sie Ruh? 
Das Loch in der Kehle, wer näht es uns zu? 
O Brüderlein, ergo bibamus!
    Ergo bibamus!
