I have drunk wine after the midday heats have subsided, buying it with the bright stamped coin./ From a glass, yellow with the lines of the glass-cutter on it, which was accompanied by a white-stoppered bottle on the left-hand side./ And when I have drunk, verily, I am the squanderer of my property, and my honor is great, and is not sullied
The Poem of Antar, from The Mu'allaqat
