| GOD Lyaeus, ever young, | |
| Ever honour'd, ever sung, | |
| Stain'd with blood of lusty grapes, | |
| In a thousand lusty shapes | |
| Dance upon the mazer's brim, | 5 |
| In the crimson liquor swim; | |
| From thy plenteous hand divine | |
| Let a river run with wine: | |
| God of youth, let this day here | |
| Enter neither care nor fear. | 10 |
| GLOSS: mazer] a bowl of maple-wood. |
