Hollander Translation
Drink your mead, but in moderation,
Talk sense or be silent:
No man is called discourteous who goes
To bed at an early hour
A gluttonous man who guzzles away
Brings sorrow on himself:
At the table of the wise he is taunted often,
Mocked for his bloated belly
The herd knows its homing time,
And leaves the grazing ground:
But the glutton never knows how much
His belly is able to hold.
