1. O people, praise of you has gone as far as it can go
And praise falls short of your Master's glory

2. When they take support from cups that have value
In drinking, the sin they have initiated

3. And with them are female listeners they allow
What business do listeners have with what I have praised

4. They said the melodies of song are gains for us in the morning
While in my view those are losses for them, out and out

5. Of the harlots' garb, donned by one who steals about
Yet they are, after all is said and done, dice players at daybreak ever ready with a throw
