1. O cup, what more can I ask
When I see myself dying alone?

2. If only I had some token from my beloved
Like what he has from me!

3. So represent his cheek, for I
Saw water and roses in you.

4. O cup, heal the wounds of my heart
For the sickness of passion is catching.

5. And steady me for a time
When people dance like monkeys.

6. Finish me off, whom I see
From my cradle to my grave!
