The Heavenly Banquet

 

I would like to have the men of heaven
In my own house:
With vats of good cheer
Laid out for them.

I would like to have the three Marys,
Their fame is so great.
I would like people
From every corner of Heaven.

I would like them to be cheerful
In their drinking,
I would like to have Jesus too
Here amongst them.

I would like a great lake of beer
For the King of Kings,
I would like to watch Heaven's family
Drinking it through all eternity.

Anonymous, 10th or  11th century.
