| We've cast off, for love of the winehouse, The usance of dawntide prayer |
|
|
| Since that thine image we have, Of liquor for us what need is? |
|
|
| Go, o zealot! Never bid me Unto heaven; sooth to say |
|
|
| No man hath seen thy visage, Though many an one thy spy is |
|
|
| The Bulbul at dawn To the wind of the East his lament made |
|
|
| She bore away my heart And hid from me her face made |
|
|
| My heart of a gipsy-like charmer, A trickstress, is captive made |
|
|
| The Festival day to-day is And I've for to-day forecast |
|
|
| Virtue, piety, observance, Seek from drunken me not. Nay |
|
|
| Chance to me, at dawn, of drinking Beakers twain of wine hath fallen |
|
