English text
1. Here's a health to the Queen and a lasting peace,
To faction an end, to wealth increase;
Come, let us drink it while we have breath,
For there's no drinking after death,
And He that will this health deny,
Down among the dead men let him lie.
2. Let charming Beauty's health go round,
In whom celestial joys are found
And may confusion still pursue,
The senseless woman hating crew,
And they that woman's health deny;
Down among the dead men let him lie.
3. In smiling Bacchus' joys i'll roll,
Deny no pleasure to my soul;
Let Bacchus' health round briskly move,
For Bacchus is a friend to love,
And he that will this health deny,
Down among the dead men let him lie.
4. May love and wine their joys maintain,
And their united pleasures reign;
While smiling plenty crowns the land,
We'll sing the joys that both afford:
And they that won't with us comply,
Down among the dead men let him lie.
