1. I dwelled in a tavern of sweet grace,
How fine was its dwelling place!

2. Then we cast off religion in that house,
Until we were stripped of it completely.

3. Wine greets itself there,
And we sow progeny in the bushes.

4. Every lover is seeing,
Blind to guidance, deaf to admonition.

5. Until when the sun warned therein,
Its yellow tents at the rising of cocks.

6. They went from comfort and had exchanged
The gait of the vigorous for the gait of the lame.
