Latin term or phrase: Optima quae longo resplendent pocula vitro.
The sentence comes from a passage from Pancratii Vulturini Panegiricus Silesiacus, which to the best of my knowledge has never been translated into English. Actually, I need all the poem in English (four sentences), but my Latin is less than rudimentary whis is why I have decided to ask Latin language experts for help.

Pancratii Vulturini Panegiricus Silesiacus

Dans niveas tibi virgo manus it vase recepto
Et portat media gelidis aestate cavernis,
Optima quae longo resplendent pocula vitro.
Haec cor triste levant et tollunt hausta cerebrum.

Giving you her snow-white hands, the maiden goes, having received the vessel,


Explanation:
Giving you her snow-white hands, the maiden goes, having received the vessel,
And carries at midsummer in icy caverns
The finest goblets that shine with tall glass.
These lighten my sad heart and, when quaffed, exalt the brain.
