31 Looke not thou vpon the wine howe red it is, and what a colour it geueth in the glasse:

32 It goeth downe sweetely, but at the last it byteth like a serpent, and stingeth lyke an adder.

33 Thyne eyes shall beholde straunge women, and thyne heart shall vtter lewde thinges:

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.

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.
