1. Pour me a cup of wine pure and unmixed,
And spoil not your cups with a blend.

2. For the dawn has appeared, and my heart is drawn
To a maiden dancing in a jug.

3. So take a good draught with a flagon from it,
A draught that will spare you lamp-light.

4. For the cock is crowing deliriously
Between a garland and crown.

5. Leave me be when the prayers are called,
For a ruin owes no land tax.
