Who has bleary eyes?30 Those lingering long over wine; Those searching out mixed wine. 31 Do not look at the wine’s red color As it sparkles in the cup and goes down smoothly,32 For in the end it bites like a serpent, And it secretes poison like a viper. 33 Your eyes will see strange things, And your heart will speak perverse things. 34 And you will be like one lying down in the middle of the sea, Like one lying at the top of a ship’s mast. 35 You will say: “They have struck me, but I did not feel it. They beat me, but I did not know it. When will I wake up? I need another drink.” |
