O noble brother, to the wine—we desire it,
O generous brother, we want more wine
as delight upon the delight already within it.
Pure, to add to the pure that's in the cup

Wine, as though its admixture, from what is within it,
Relaxed, as though its nature suited her
were urging it to blaze inside its cup.
Ablaze in her glass, tempting her

It shook heads with its potency, and indeed it
Heads swayed to the melody she sang

Yet the wise man remains composed
