Poem

If all be true that I think, There are five reasons we should drink; Good wine-a friend-or being dry- Or lest we should be by and by- Or any other reason why.

In the original Latin

Si bene quid memini, causae sunt quinque bibendi; Hospitis adventus, praesens sitis atque futura, Aut vini bonitas, aut quaelibet altera causa.
