I guess so, see how he goes on about drinking?
"Happy-checked saqi of mine, give the cup like pomegranate blossom; if for my sake you will not give for the sake of the heart of the Beloved.
Saqi [cup-bearer], you are the darling, you are the sick man's cure; quick give the draft of gladness and healing to the sick.
Pour wine out in this bowl, smite the nick of anxiety; now, do not break my heart, my heart and sweetheart, and give.
Open that tavern, abandon this rowdiness; give to the thirst-stricken lover from the vintner's vat.
You are the soul of spring and garden, the glory of cypress and jasmine; now make no excuses, roguish idol, but give!
When you set foot on trickery and start away from the drunkard's hands our enemy will rejoice; despite strangers, give!
Give not grief and sighing, open the way only to joy; a sigh proceeds from the wayless; open the way; give audience.
We are all intoxicated of the encounter, athirst for the bumper of immortality; as pawns, give robe and turban before the saqi.
I am athirst of old, hot of heart and breast; break the beaker and cup, give much without measure.
You are both moon and moonshine, I am the fish of this water; the moon cannot reach the fish, so give generously of the moonshine."
Monique, you should know this: Who said "It is a fool who drinks to stay within limits"?
I'll stop what is almost amounting to spamming this thread
ver good dan! very good!
