W:And may confusion still pursue W:The senseless woman hating crew; W:And they that woman's health deny, W: W:3 W:In smiling Bacchus' joys I'll roll, W:Deny no pleasure to my soul; W:Let Bacchus' health round briskly move, W:For Bacchus is a friend to love. W:And he that will this health deny, W: W:4 W:May love and wine their rites maintain, W:And their united pleasures reign; W:While Bacchus' treasure crowns the board W:We'll sing the joys that both afford. W:And he that won't with us comply.
