1. This early morn of celebration
A day of revelry and wine

2. See by God, how fine
Are the manners of the clouds

3. The rain began gently at first
Then flowed abundantly

4. And cleared like the flashing
Of a sword from its sheath

5. A fine beginning, beautifully
Concluded by a fine end

6. Starting like your deeds
In excellent order

7. Drink freely of relaxation
With cups and goblets and wine

8. The world is but illusion
Or dreams of sleep

9. Do not seek far
And be content with your state

10. Leave not the middle road
For states of bodies

11. All things anticipated
Their ruin at perfection
