31 Looke not thou vpon the wine howe red it is, and what a colour it geueth in the glasse: Do not look at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly. Do not gaze at wine when it is red, when it sparkles in the cup, when it goes down smoothly!
32 It goeth downe sweetely, but at the last it byteth like a serpent, and stingeth lyke an adder. In the end it bites like a serpent and stings like an adder. In the end it bites like a snake and poisons like a viper.
33 Thyne eyes shall beholde straunge women, and thyne heart shall vtter lewde thinges: Your eyes will see strange things, and your heart utter perverse things. Your eyes will see strange sights, and your mind will imagine confusing things.
34 Yea thou shalt be as though thou layest in the middest of the sea, or slepest vppon the top of the maste of a ship. You will be like one who lies down in the midst of the sea, like one who lies on the top of a mast. You will be like one sleeping on the high seas, lying on top of the rigging.
35 They haue beaten me shalt thou say and I was not sicke, they haue stricken me, and I felt it not: When I am well wakened, I wil go to the drinke again. “They struck me,” you will say, “but I was not hurt; they beat me, but I did not feel it. When shall I awake? I must have another drink.” “They hit me,” you will say, “but I’m not hurt! They beat me, but I don’t feel it! When will I wake up so I can find another drink?”
