In taberna quando sumus

non curamus quit sit humus

sed ad ludum properamus

cui semper insudamus

Quid agatur in taberna

ubi nummus est pincerna

hoc est opus ut queratur

si quid loquar, audiatur

Quidam ludunt, quidam bibunt

quidam indiscrete vivunt

Sed in ludo qui morantur

ex his quidam denudantur

quidam ibi vestiuntur

quidam saccis induuntur

Ibi nullus timet mortem

sed pro Baccho mittunt sortem

Primo pro nummata vini

Ex hac bibunt libertini

Semel bibunt pro captivis

Post hec bibunt ter pro vivis

Quater pro Christianis cunctis

Quinquies pro fidelibus defunctis

Sexies pro sororibus vanis

Septies pro militibus silvanis

Octies pro fratribus perversis

Nonies pro monachis dispersis

Decis pro navigantibus

Undecies pro discordantibus

Duodecies pro penitentibus

Tredecies pro iter agentibus

Tam pro papa quam pro rege

Bibunt omnes sine lege

Bibit hera, bibit herus

Bibit miles, bibit clerus

bibit ille, bibit illa

Bibit servus cum ancilla

Bibit velox, bibit piger

Bibit albus, bibit niger

Bibit constans, bibit vagus

Bibit rudis, bibit magus

Bibit pauper et egrotus

Bibit exul et ignotus

Bibit puer, bibit canus

Bibit presul et decanus

Bibit soror, bibit frater

Bibit anus, bibit mater

Bibit ista, bibit ille

Bibunt centum, bibunt mille

Parum sexcente nummate

Durant, cum immoderate

Bidunt omnes sine meta

Quamvis bibant mente leta

Sic nos rodunt omnes gentes

Et sic erimus egentes

Qui nos rodunt confundantur

Et cum iustis non scribantur, Io!
