Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?	Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has strife? Who has complaints? Who has needless bruises? Who has bloodshot eyes?

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?”
