Vulcan, contrive me such a cup
As Nestor used of old;
Show all thy skill to trim it up,
Damask it round with gold.
Make it so large that, filled with sack
Up to the swelling brim,
Vast toasts on the delicious lake
Like ships at sea may swim.
Engrave not battle on its cheek:
With war I've nought to do;
I'm none of those that took Maastricht,
Nor Yarmouth leaguer knew.
Let it no name of planets tell,
Fixed stars, or constellations;
For I am no Sir Sidrophel,
Nor none of his relations.
But carve theron a spreading vine,
Then add two lovely boys;
Their limbs in amorous folds intwine,
The type of future joys.
Cupid and Bacchus my saints are,
May drink and love still reign,
With wine I wash away my cares,
And then to cunt again.

Ok, I'm going to have to read this again ..
I don't know about this, I think I read into it, or something. I mean, the first two parts seem to be about a cup, like a win glass of sorts, and for one of two people to fill up with 'wine' which also, seems, to be something else as well. But, it's as if they are drunk, and then when one of them sobers up they notice they just had relations with the same sex so the only thing respectively to do, is go find the first whore he can to cleanse himself.
