Give me the man that’s always free,

Qui finit molli more,

The cares of life, what’er they be;

Whose motto still is “Spero.”

Death will turn us soon from hence,

Nigerrimas ad sedes;

And all our lands and all our pence

Ditabunt tune heredes.

Why should we then forbear to sport?

Dum vivamus, vivamus,
