Midnight shout and revelry,

Tipsy dance and jollity.

Braid your locks with rosy twine,

Dropping odours, dropping wine,

Rigour now is gone to bed,

And Advice with scrupulous head:

Strict age and sour severity,

With their grave saws, in slumber lie.

We, that are of purer fire,

Imitate the starry quire,
