Sweet milk he brings: Barely asleep after the cinema, how can one feel like rising!
This couplet beautifully captures that universal feeling of not wanting to get out of bed! Imagine you've just come back from watching a movie, feeling tired but finally drifting off to sleep. Then, someone calls out, perhaps asking you to bring sweet milk. The poem expresses that moment of deep reluctance: "We had just barely managed to fall asleep after seeing a movie, how can we possibly feel like waking up now?" It's a sweet, relatable complaint about being disturbed right when you've found your peaceful sleep.
