The Andalusian poet Ibn Hamdis rose to fame at the court of the Abbadid kings of Seville- this was after the collapse of the Umayyad Caliphate of Spain and when each city was ruled by its own king.

He describes in his poems the palace in Seville where he and his companions would sit in a garden surrounded by a stream. The cupbearer would fill cups with wine and let them float in the stream. to be picked up by the men as they floated in front of them, drink the cups, and then put them back in the stream to float back to the cup-bearer!

I remember a certain brook that offered the impiety of drunkenness to the topers sitting along its course, with its cups of golden wine

Each silver cup in it filled as though it contained the soul of the sun in the body of the full moon.

Whenever a glass reached anyone in our company of topers, he would grasp it gingerly with his ten fingers.

Then he drinks out of it a grape-induced intoxication which lulls his very senses without his realizing it.

He sends the glass back in the water, thus returning it to the hands of a cupbearer at whose will it had originally floated to him.

Because of the wine-bibbing we imagined our song to be melodies which the birds sang without verse.

…

It is as if we were cities along the riverbank while the wine-laden ships sailed the stretch between us.

At least he admitted its impiety!
