A cup tilted in his hand, and I leaned toward it—
A cup leaned on his hand, so I inclined towards it
Drunken and riotous in a drunkard’s palm.
Intoxicated and disheveled in the palm of one drunk

It rumbles when raised, so you take it for
It hums when it is set down, so you would think
The drinkers’ quarrelling over lies and slander.
It disputes with drinking about lies and falsehood
