The fish pass into the basket,
Bream and tench.
Our host has spirits,
Abundance of them and good.
The fish pass into the basket,
Mud-fish and carp.
Our host has spirits,
Good and in quantities.
The viands are abundant,
And they are admirable.
The viands are excellent,
Both from the land and the sea.
The viands are in quantities,
And all in season.
