1. Give me drink and turn aside,
Daughter of two sand hills bent.

2. Give drink to the slender and young―
May God water a slender one.

3. Say not, "We see him too precious;"
Made delicate, thinned of weight.

4. Yes, the garden's basil plant,
Though plucked immature its state.

5. If I'm precious, I do espy
The moon itself as precious.

6. By my father diagramming maxims,
He suppresses his veilings great.

7. He lined his cheeks and pencil,
Then lined adorning his plate.

8. He perfumed the mares' race-course
With musk carefully laid in place.

9. If I'm chased away from it
You refuse and protest this case.

10. Only drunkenness tilts its palm trees,
Bringing ripe yield in its pace.

11. Early, no slowness displayed,
As I blame the causing-delay.

12. Hasten it! By the silvern,
Pour the water and tap the pace!

13. Bear his rages; though he be
Biting, submit and debase.

14. When he yearns for sleep at last,
Rise and slow your pace.
