1. Mu'adh left the mean behind, his discourse
A gallant wit, of noble bearing and jest.

2. The breeze disputed with the radiant morn
The clatter of the working hands' unrest,

3. A goblet with a little to content
Paired with a flower like a roe-deer dressed.

4. Smooth, with a flavour delicate and pure
As tears that mingle limpidly in zest,

5. The reddening juice that makes the feaster like
Apples suffused with freshness manifest,

6. A cheek, that when night dons her cloak, avails
To recompense the comrade for the lamp's arrest.
