The first cup moistens the throat;
The second shatters all feelings of solitude;
The third cup purifies the digestion,
re-opening the five thousand volumes I’ve studied
and bringing them to mind afresh;
The fourth induces perspiration,
evaporating all of life’s trials and tribulations;
With the fifth cup, the body sharpens, crisp;
The sixth cup is the first step on the road to enlightenment;
And the seventh cup sits steaming—
it needn’t be drunk, as one is lifted to the abode of the immortals.
