What wine has made you drunk—is it from
Through the wine which you drank I see
Two cups, or two cheeks, or eyes?
Two cups, two cheeks, or starry eyes maybe

She bared a leg to give you wine
She would not bare her leg to pour your wine
Only so you would be dazzled by the beauty of the leg.
Unless to make you marvel at its shape so fine
