6 Come therefore and let us enjoy the good things that now are;

And let us use creation with all earnestness as youth’s possession.

7 Let us fill ourselves with costly wine and perfumes;

And let no flower of spring pass us by:

8 Let us crown ourselves with rosebuds, before they wither:

9 Let there be no 〈meadow〉 without traces of our proud revelry:

Everywhere let us leave tokens of our mirth:

Because this is our portion, and our lot is this.
