Maid of the Myth

He knew her well in his youth.
She was refined, he uncouth.
Maiden so fair
now see her there
drowning in his gin/vermouth

he was wallowing in self pity, thinking of young firm titties, climbed in a bottle, walked with a waddle, that's just life in the big city

Not sure how to read this, was fair Maiden a more refined fire imbibed at one time and now she's a sloppy lush? :)
