61. MAID OF WU oo
Wine of the grapes, ^
Goblets of gold — -• -*•
And a pretty maid of Wu — ^J*^\
She comes on pony-back: she is fifteen.
Blue-painted eyebrows —
Shoes of pink brocade —
Inarticulate speech —
But she sings bewitchingly well.
So feasting at the table
Inlaid with tortoise shell,
She gets drunk in my lap.
Ah, child, what caresses
Behind lily-broidered curtains!
