And a clear wine, free of any speck of impurity,
Pure, without any impurity
With fragrant wafts that drive the gnats away.
It has fragrances that ward off weariness

As though wishes had pictured it,
As if hopes had personified it
And God had said to it, "Be thus."
So God said to it, be like this

It leaves your eyes alluring
And your ear red and drooping.
And your ear blushing within it
