The Friend offered me once
A cup of his divine wine
I said: “I am afraid I cannot accept
See: I must keep my mind clear
To recognise the friend
From the foe”
He laughed and said:
“Why? I am both one and the other!”
Thus we drank together and danced
On His Music
The day after, I met both
Friends and foes
And to all I was kind,
Sharing this wine
Which would not let go
Of my lips
