English text

Sing we and chant it

while love doth grant it,

fa la la, etc.

Not long youth lasteth,

and old age hasteth;

now is best leisure

to take our pleasure,

fa la la, etc.

All things invite us

now to delight us,

fa la la, etc.

Hence, care, be packing!

no mirth be lacking!

Let spare no treasure

to live in pleasure,

fa la la, etc.
