Parum sescentae nummatae
durant cum immoderate
bibunt omnes sine meta,
quamvis bibant mente laeta;
sic nos rodunt omnes gentes,
et sic erimus egentes.

Six hundred pennies barely last
if all drink immoderately and immeasurably,
however much they cheerfully drink
we are the ones whom everyone scolds,
and thus we are destitute.

if all drink immoderately and immeasurably,
however much they cheerfully drink
we are the ones whom everyone scolds,
and thus we are destitute.
