Bægret
Language: Danish (Dansk)
Jeg tager Bægret af din Haand idet jeg i dit Øje ser - jeg véd hvad Skaalen gemmer. O lifligst Drik i lifligt Kar: og om det end ej ubrudt var, hvad er jeg selv? det sprøde Ler, som hungrer imod Vinens Aand! Jeg vil min Vin, vil intet mer - jeg tager Drikken af din Haand og Skaalen hos mig gemmer.
