拍品專文

I need a lover

After the pouring out they stand up

With me shall they fill up

It is enough when it is full

One runs after me with pleasure

With eating and drinking I get agreeable

The sun takes my coldness away

One thinks of me at sea and on land

I am known to everybody

I am waiting for perfection

They are ready for half service

I don't run away
