MENE, MENE TEKEL UPARSIN
We sit all through the night Watching the slaves, grimly Reminding one another that Had it not been for the wench With the golden eye ( The silver pipe was filled With the muses of life and The wine pooled in molten Sheets across the flagstones. Then it happened. The sound! The light! It seared into ears. It seared into eyes. Their Fright left them cowering. ) we would now be accursed By some foreigner' wrathful god. "Bring more wine and food!" |
