Ad primum morsum, si non potavero, mort sum.
Gaudia sunt mihi maxima dum bibo bis.
At trium potum laetus sum dum bibo totum.
Laetificat quartus cor, caput atque latus.
In quinto potu vasto potamus hiatu.
Dulcis et ipse cibus dum bibo sex vicibus.
Potu septeno laetus sum corpore pleno.
O nos felices octo bibendo vices.
Nona cherubinum pingit potatio nasum.
Si decies bibero, cornua fronte gero.
Undenaque vice tibi praebibo, dulcis amice.
Et bis post decies est mihi tota quies.
Postea dico satis sed cum potavero gratis.
Tantillum digitum laetus eo cubitum.
