1. Indulge her, for the absence of blame is one of the spoils,
And fear no sin, for you are not to blame in this.

2. There is no life except in clinging to a cup of wine,
From which the youth emerges with stained elbows.

3. There is no shade except the shade of a lofty vine,
Whose grapes will sing to you in its clusters and leaves of doves.

4. A sky of branches that prevents the sun from being seen
On the ground except like the scattering of coins.
