##>>
This title, meaning the silver cup, is usually referenced to the first lines of the song *My Bonie Mary* by Robert Burns:

*Go, fetch to me a pint o’wine,  
And fill it in a silver tassie  
That I may drink, before I go,  
A service to my bonie lassie*

This, however, is probably Burns’ reworking of an older ballad attributed to Alexander Lesly of Edin, which opens:

*Ye’ll bring me here a pint of wine,  
A server and a silver tassie,  
That I may drink, before I gang,  
A health to my ain bonny lassie*
