Before a day that spoils pleasure and forbids it,
After a gone day of grief and sighs.

With the vine’s daughter, from a girdled man’s hand,
From the palm of a generous daughter,
His waist wrapped in wantonness, full of swagger.

Cup after cup she offers,
Bewildered, between being mindful and heedless.
Leaving the drinker dazed between consciousness and oblivion.
