Tower of Ivory
Students [singing]
In dulce jubilo—
Drink and be merry, oh!
Wine is old laughter.
Whoso will rise again
Sickens and dies again
Here and hereafter.
No immortality
But this reality
Lasts a day longer.
Drink and be merry, oh!
In dulce jubilo—
Death is the stronger.
Christopher
Better lads! Some'at better,—you there, Fritz,
Your diatonics would make Ockenheim
Writhe i' the worms. You should have Ah—not Ah—
On that first jubilo—o—o.
Matthiolus
Hush you! We stopped the stranger in his tale.
