Come, have a drink with me –
Care can swallow love,
And tasks devour time
Enough of cups of tea!
Your eyes, ever more sublime,
Dancing bright above
A brown and friendly beer
Will soon meet mine, my dear
Intoxicatingly.
The best have loved the worst
Love’s no criterion
Of merit – that I am first...
I hope that you will fall in love again
With someone I will introduce you to
Don’t worry – you’ll have no cause to complain...
