[Translation of Horace: Book I, Ode IV, lines 15–20]
Imaidiatly we'll a take flightinto the darker shades of Night
as storys gang wi' Ghaists to Roam
in Gloomin pluto's gowsty Dome
Bid fair good day to pleasures syn
of Bonny Lasses and Red wine
Then deem ilk litle care a crime
dare waste an hour of precious Time
and since our Life's sae unko short
enjoy't a'—ye've nae mair for't.
