I came like Water, and like Wind I go.

Ah, take the Cash, and let the Credit go, Nor heed the rumble of a distant Drum!

Drink wine. This is life eternal. This is all that youth will give you. It is the season for wine, roses and drunken friends. Be happy for this moment. This moment is your life.

You know, my friends, with what a brave carouse I made a Second Marriage in my house; favored old barren reason from my bed, and took the daughter of the vine to spouse.

Dead yesterdays and unborn tomorrows, why fret about it, if today be sweet.

I hide my distress, just likethe blessed birds hide themselveswhen they are preparing to die. Wine! Wine, roses, music and yourindifference to my sadness, my loved-one!

Oh, the brave Music of a distant drum!
