For the moment，drinking wine. Happiness is to be savored to the full.The golden cup must not face the moon untouched.Heaven born，my talents will find a place；A fortune spent in gold wil come back again.So roast the sheep and kill the cattle，And down three hundred cupfuls in a single breath For the moment’s pleasure.Inquiring of the moon，wine cup in hand.
