MEN As before you we defile,
Eloia! Eloia!
Pray you, gentles, do not smile
If we shout, in classic style,
Eloia!
Ludwig and his Julia true
Wedded are each other to--
So we sing, till all is blue,
Eloia! Eloia!

WOMEN Opoponax! Opoponax! Opoponax! Eloia!
Opoponax! Opoponax! Opoponax! Eloia! Eloia!

ALL Wreaths of bay and ivy twine,
Eloia! Eloia!
Fill the bowl with Lesbian wine,
And to revelry incline--
Eloia!

For as gaily we pass on
Probably we shall, anon,
Sing a Diergeticon--
Eloia! Eloia!
Eloia! Eloia!
WOMEN Opoponax! Opoponax! Opoponax!
MEN Opoponax! Opoponax! Opoponax!
WOMEN Opoponax! Opoponax! Opoponax!
ALL Eloia! Eloia! Eloia!
