Let us devote our hearts to merriment and feasting
 While the enjoyment of delights still brings pleasure.
For quick as thought does radiant youth pass by;
 Nor does the rush of horses prove to be swifter
When carrying their master to the labor of men's spears
 With furious energy, taking joy in the plain that brings forth wheat.
