Here's a Health to the King and a lasting PeaceThat faction end and Wealth increaseCome, let us drink it while we have breathFor there's no drinking after deathAnd he who would this health denyDown among the dead menDown among the dead menDown, down, down, downDown among the dead men let him lieLet charming Beauty's Health go roundIn whom Celestial joys are foundAnd may confusion still pursueThat senseless woman-hating crewAnd he who would this health denyDown among the dead menDown among the dead menDown, down, down, downDown among the dead men let him lieIn smiling Bacchus' joys I'll rollDeny no pleasure to my soulLet Bacchus' Health round swiftly moveFor Bacchus is a friend to LoveAnd he who would this health denyDown among the dead menDown among the dead menDown, down, down, downDown among the dead men let him lieMay Love and Wine their Joys maintainAnd their united Pleasures reignWhile smiling plenty crowns the LordWe'll sing the joys that both affordAnd he who won't with us complyDown among the dead menDown among the dead menDown, down, down, downDown among the dead men let him lie
