| Wake for Reveill e scatters into flight | B |
| The flagging Rearguard of a ruined Night | B |
| And hark the meagre Champion of the Roost | C |
| Has flung a matins to the Throne of Light | B |
| - | |
| Here while the first beam smites the sullen Sky | D |
| With silent feet Haj m comes stealing nigh | D |
| Bearing the Brush the Vessel and the Blade | E |
| These sallow cheeks of mine to scarify | D |
| - | |
| How often oh how often have I sworn | F |
| Myself myself to shave th' ensuing Morn | F |
| And then and then comes Guest night and Haj m | G |
| Appears unbidden and is gladly borne | F |
| - | |
| Come fill the Cup The nerve restoring Ti | H |
| Shall woo me with the Leaf of far Bohi | I |
| What matter that to some the Koko makes | J |
| Appeal to some the Cingalese Kofi | H |
| - | |
| For in a minute Toil that ever thrives | K |
| Awaits me with her Shackles and her Gyves | K |
| And ever crieth Folly in the streets | K |
| 'To work for needs ye must when Shait n drives ' | - |

| Alas that I did yesternight disport | H |
| With certain fellows of the baser Sort | H |

| When Drinks are long and Pockets all too short | H |

| With them the game of Poka did I play | L |
| And in wild session turned the Night to Day | L |
| And many a Chip I dropped upon the Board | H |
| And many a Moistener poured upon the Clay | L |
| - | |
| I put my Pile against th' Improbable | A |
| And with a Full Hand thought to make it swell | M |
| And this was all the Profit that I reaped | H |
| A Full of Kings is Heaven and Fours are Hell | M |
| - | |
| Then to the Mountain Dew I turned to seek | N |
| New courage for the Vengeance I should wreak | N |
| And once again came Fours again the Flesh | O |
| Was willing and the Spirits far from weak | N |

| O Friend of pseudo philosophic Calm | P |
| Who found within the Cup a life's Aram | P |
| Thy counsel howsoever fair to read | H |
| Were passing bad to follow friend Khayyam | P |
| - | |
| Was it not Suleiman the Wise that said | H |
| Look not upon the Wine when it is red | H |
| And Suleiman the Wise knew What was Which | Q |
| Though that great Heart of his outmatched his Head | H |
| - | |
| - | |
| - | |
| Ah with the Pledge a Door of Refuge ope | R |
| To wean my footsteps from the facile Slope | R |
| And write me down fulfilled of Self esteem | P |
| A Prop and Pillar of the Band of Hope | R |
| - | |
| That in the Club should whilom Comrades try | D |
| To lure me to a Roister on the sly | D |
| The necessary Zeal I may not lack | S |
| To turn away nor wink the Other Eye | D |
