W:Why spend your leisure bereft of pleasure W:A massing treasure why scrape and save? W:Why look so canny at ev'ry penny? W:You'll take no money within the grave W:Landlords and gentry with all their plenty W:Must still go empty where 're they're bound. W:So to my thinking we'd best be drinking W:Our glasses clinking and round and round. W: W:2. W:King Solomon's glory, so famed in story, W:Was far outshone by the lilies guise, W:But hard winds harden both field and garden, W:Pleading for pardon, the lily dies. W:Life's but a bauble of toil and trouble, W:The feathered arrow, once shot ne'er found, W:So, lads and lasses, because life passes, W:Come fill your glasses for another round. W: W:3. W:The huckster greedy, he blinds the needy. W:Their strifes unheeding, shouts "Money down!" W:His special vices, his fancy prices, W:For a florin value he'll charge a crown. W:With hump for tramel, the scripture's camel W:Missed the needle's eye and so came to ground. W:Why pine for riches, while still you've stitches W:To hold your britches up? Another round! % W:Gaelic W:. W:1. W:Is iomaí slí sin a bhíos ag daoine W:ag cruinniú píosaí is ag déanamh stóir, W:is a laghad a smaoiníos ar ghiorra an tsaoil seo W:go mbeidh siad sínte faoi leac go fóill. W:Más tiarna tíre, diúc nó rí thú, W:ní rachaidh pingin leat is tú ag dul faoin bhfód. W:Mar sin is dá bhrí sin níl beart níos críonna W:ná bheith go síorraí ag cur preab son ól. W: W:2. W:An long thar sáile níl cuan nó cearda W:nach gcaithfeadh cairde ar fud an domhain mhóir W:ó ríocht na Spáinne agus suas Gibraltar W:Agus ins an áit a mbíonn an Grand Senor. W:Le gach lasta ag líonadh málaí W:ní choinneodh an bás uaidh uair nó dhó. W:Mar sin, a chairde, níl beart níos fearr dúinn W:ná bheith mar táimid ag cur preab san ól. % % % % % % % % % %]
