Buveur - is a drinker, toper, boozer (from boire) Fût (the imperfect subjunctive 3rd person singular of faire) and s'en faire to worry Lugubre - as in English - a lovely gloomy word Plaindre is to feel sorry for.. or se plaindre - to grumble
The poor old drinker drinks to forget the shame of drinking - and it doesn't seem to work
ps i need to check out what the subjunctive is in English and do a lot of work on French verbs!
I think 'fut' is the past historic from etre ? meaning 'was' in this instant ? The reason being that this 'fut' has no accent /\ . Peut-etre! I agree with Margot on the other two.

We hardly use the subjunctive in English. I think that is what causes most angst for us anglophones. I'll let you see a few notes on it cette semaine.

Yes, fut is the past historic form of être, meaning 'was' here.
