Original text and translations

English text

Cupid no more shall give me grief,
Or anxious cares oppress my soul,
While gen'rous Bacchus gives relief,
And drowns 'em in a flowing bowl.

Celia, thy scorn I now despise,
Thy boasted empire I disown;
This takes the brightness from thy eyes
And makes it sparkle in my own.
