And do you think that unto such as you;A maggot-minded, starved, fanatic crew: God gave the secret, and denied it me?-Well, well, what matters it! Believe that, too."Did God set grapes a-growing, do you think, And at the same time make it sin to drink?Give thanks to Him who foreordained it thus-Surely He loves to hear the glasses clink!"This worn caravanserai which is called the worldIs the resting-place of the piebald horse of night and day;It is a pavilion which has been abandoned by a hundred Jamshyds;It is a palace that is the resting-place of a hundred Bahrams.Im Frühling mag ich gern im Grüne weilenUnd Einsamkeit mit einer Freundin teilenUnd einem Kruge Wein. Mag man mich schelten: Ich lasse keinen andern Himmel gelten.
