Subject:Needs original of Abu Nuwas qasida

Dear friends and colleagues,

Does anybody know the original of the following Abu Nuwas' qasida:

Always I have and will
Scatter god and gold to the four winds.
When we meet, I delight in what the Book forbids.
And flee what is allowed.

(Diwan Abu Nuwas, 62, after Kennedy, p. 220)

I leafed diligently through books and encyclopedias but to no avail...

Thanks in advance,
Vrsan Lestaric
