Original text and translations

English text

The thirsty Vampires, some believe,
Their Graves can pierce and Coffins leave,
To suck poor Mortals dry.

If I’ve the Luck to drink when dead,
My Liquor shan’t be Blood tho’ red.

The Juice of Grapes best suits to me,
To some huge Cask of Wine I’ll be,
I’ll be a Vampire when I dye.
