KONRAD CELTIS - On the fasting of the Sarmatians
ON THE FASTING OF THE SARMATIANS
The Sarmatian denies himself boiled fish on fast days
And devours baked food from the bowls that surround him,
In order to guzzle more Bacchus for his thirsting belly
Or to drink the hop beverage from the mugs filled to the brim.
Translated by Michael J. Mikoś
