Of lingering and gain-seeking make an end;
Think, while there’s time, how soon Death’s pyre may blaze;
And some brief folly mix with prudent ways:
At the fit hour ’tis sweet to unbend.
[Verum pone moras et studium lucri
nigrorumque memor, dum licet, ignium
misce stultitiam consiliis brevem:
dulce est desipere in loco.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Odes [Carmina], Book 4, # 12, l. 25ff (4.12.25-28) (13 BC) [tr. Marshall (1908)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/73650/

Ah, shall my white feet in the dances gleam
The livelong night again? Ah, shall I there
Float through the Bacchanal’s ecstatic dream,
Tossing my neck into the dewy air? —
Like to a fawn that gambols mid delight
Of pastures green.
[ἆρ᾽ ἐν παννυχίοις χοροῖς
θήσω ποτὲ λευκὸν
πόδ᾽ ἀναβακχεύουσα, δέραν
865εἰς αἰθέρα δροσερὸν ῥίπτουσ᾽,
ὡς νεβρὸς χλοεραῖς ἐμπαί-
ζουσα λείμακος ἡδοναῖς]Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
Bacchæ [Βάκχαι], l. 862ff, Strophe 1 [Chorus/Χορός] (405 BC) [tr. Way (1898)]More about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/euripides/60527/

Oh, are we doing Last Supper versus Bacchanalian/Dionysian revelry discourse tonight? Fun! All the best fights boil down to drinking contests between the Christians and the pagans. Hint: we always win!
Here's my contribution to the discourse: https://www.erosblog.com/2016/12/24/reveling-reveling-reveling/
Post features the painting "The Youth Of Bacchus" by William-Adolphe Bouguereau. The youth are drunk, naked, and worshipping their asses off.
