Vile potabis (Lisle, set by R. Hahn) (The Lied and Art Song Texts Page: Texts and Translations to Lieder, mélodies, canzoni, and other classical vocal music)


En mes coupes d'un prix modique
Veux-tu tenter mon humble vin?
Je l'ai scellé dans l'urne Attique
Au sortir du pressoir Sabin.
Il est un peu rude et moderne :
Cécube, Calès ni Falerne
Ne mûrissent dans mon cellier ;
Mais les Muses me sont amies,
Et les Muses font oublier
Ta vigne dorée, ô Formies!
