A good Samaritan you'll be for all, but tempered with good judgement //
You shall disburse your amity, to every one most generously. //
Science and Letters you shall defend, in every place and every time. //
Protector of the Arts you'll be; and of the muses an intimate. //
Learned people you'll frequent, your understanding to enrich. //
Both boors and crooks you shall avoid, and always flee from slanderers. //
In noble pleasures you'll delight, but never seeking out excess. //
Delightful food you will enjoy, With discernment and excellence. //
No banquet you will ever start, without a glass of fine anis. //
Thus your digestion you'll ensure, with this fine drink to round the feast
