Than you, O valued friend of mine!
A better patron non est—
Come, quaff my home-made Sabine wine—
You'll find it poor but honest.
I put it up that famous day
You patronized the ballet
And the public cheered you such a way
As shook your native valley.
Caecuban and the Calean brand
May elsewhere claim attention,
But I have none of these on hand—
For reasons I'll not mention.
