by whom our mind becomes joyous.

That wine, good wine,
noble wine,
makes a man courtly,
fine and spirited.

Bacchus, by chance conquering the hearts of men,
excites their spirits in love.

Bacchus, often visiting the race of women,
makes them subject to you, oh you, Venus.

Bacchus, penetrating the veins with warm wine,
makes them fiery with the flame of Venus.
