³¹ Do not look on the wine when it glistens red,
When it ^[a]sparkles in the cup,
When it ^(A)goes down smoothly;
³² At the end—like a serpent it ^(B)bites,
And like a ^(C)viper it stings.
³³ Your eyes will see strange things
And your heart will ^(D)speak perverse things.
³⁴ And you will be like one who lies down in the heart of the sea,
Or like one who lies down on the top of a ^[b]mast.
³⁵ “They ^(E)struck me, but I did not become ^[c]ill;
They beat me, but I did not know it.
When shall I awake?
I will ^(F)seek yet another.”
