Work Overview
Drinking Song 2 is part of a collection of songs with the overall title of Eat and Be Eaten. The collection revolves around the subject of food in all its significance. Whereas other drinking songs, including the other one in this song cycle, tend to be a comical illustrations of the perils of over-indulgence, this song carries a rather stark metaphor for the brevity of life. So enjoy while you may......
The text is from Amphis (4th century BC), translated by Tony Harrison.
