Sol 5.6

  1. You two, give me to drink, and know me enraptured;

    pass round the cup, and choose

  2. a daughter of the vine, her hair-parting gone gray,

    who has lain for ages in her jar.

  3. She donned chain mail of silver;

    beneath it I took her for gold.

  4. And it is as though the water, when she is mixed with it,

    kindles a flame within her cup.

  5. Then she sent circling about her sides

    bubbles with which she tempts well-set teeth.

  6. Like a bay mare in color, whom

    a horseman girded with a breastband of pearls.
