      وَكَأسٍ كَعَينِ الديكِ باكَرتُ حَدَّها
      بِفِتيانِ صِدقٍ وَالنَواقيسُ تُضرَبُ

      There are stoops splendid like cock’s eyen, and I betook myself early to cross the border [into the land of the Christians]
      with friendly lads, where the bells are hit,
      where there is fore-must wine like saffron,
      and one clinks the beakers and then mixes the wine.
