More Palatino
by:   tune:

(Text of original song. Arranged here by Sweelinck, whose virginal style was identical with that of English contemporaries.)

More palatino bibimus; ne gutta supersit
unde suam possit musca levare sitem.
Sic bibimus, sic vivimus
dum Academicus.
We dink in palatial style. Let not a drop
remain by which a fly couldd quench hih thirst.
Thus we drink and thus we live
while we are students.
