Lycurgus Cup- Disdained Glass Deed of a Wolf

The glazier putting the cup in its place a disdained glass The vine of Sodom wrapping like a snake in the grass The caged cup of ritual madness from the raving ones Their wine is the poison of dragons so the light shuns Their pigeons light upon broken idols fallen to the ground In Rosy-red nectar of two mothers immortality is not found Grapes of gall mocking wine of thousand flowers Ambrosia Tinted from green to red distorting true light Trompe L'oeil Beware cruel venom of asps the chalice of abominations Beware false oblations and raging drinks of the nation’s Ground to powder in the sand of time this glass bozzetto Walking on the sea of glass truth sings a new sonetto
