W:Little they thought that the demon was there, W:Blindly they drank & were caught in the snare. W:Then of the death-dealing cup O beware! W:Touch not the cup, touch it not. W: W:Touch not the cup when the wine glistens bright! W:Touch not the cup, touch not the cup, W:Though like the ruby it shine in the light, W:Touch not the cup, touch it not. W:The fangs of the serpent are hid in the bowl; W:Touch not the cup, touch not the cup, W:Soon it will plunge thee beyond thy control: W:Touch not the cup, touch it not. W: W:Touch not the cup, O young man in thy pride! W:Touch not the cup, touch not the cup, W:Hark to the warning of thousands who've died, W:Touch not the cup, touch it not. W:Go to their lonely and desolate tomb, W:Think of their death, of their sorrow and gloom; W:Think that perhaps thou may'st share in their doom, W:Touch not the cup, touch it not. W: W:Touch not the cup, O drink not a drop; W:Touch not the cup, touch not the cup; W:All that thou lovest entreat thee to stop; W:Touch not the cup, touch it not. W:STOP FOR THE HOME THAT TO THEE IS SO DEAR; W:STOP FOR THE FRIENDS THAT TO THEE ARE SO NEAR; W:STOP FOR THY COUNTRY, THE GOD THAT YOU FEAR. W:TOUCH NOT THE CUP, TOUCH IT NOT.
